Abstract
THIS laboratory, in common with many others throughout the world, has for years been working on the life-cycle of malaria parasites in the vertebrate host. The most important details have already been elucidated so far as avian malaria is concerned, but the development of the sporozoites in the prepatent stage in mammalian malaria has remained obscure in spite of the most painstaking and meticulous work in many centres of malaria research.
