Beforethe end of forty-eight hours the organism has usually com-pletely filled its enveloping red blood-corpuscle. The pig-ment is very much increased in amount, and surroundingthe organism is a thin rim, the remains of the invaded cor-puscle. Sometimes all indication of red corpuscle disappears.When this stage is reached, the hitherto actively oscillatingpigment becomes motionless, or nearly so, and tends to col-lect near the center either as a single black or as a mass of.

The substance of the organismnow becomes finely granular and somewhat more refractive.Indistinct radial striations make their appearance at theperiphery of the body; these grow more and more distinct, till finally the central pigment-mass is surrounded by from12 to 20 or more pear-shaped segments that give to thewhole a rosette-like appearance (7, 8, 9, 10 in Fig. 23). Eachsegment presents a small refractive central spot. A littlelater the central pigment-clump is seen to be surrounded bya group of completely separated, round, hyaline bodies simi-lar in all respects to those seen in the corpuscles at thebeginning of the observation (11 in Fig. 23)—i. c, during thelatter part of, or shortly after, the pre
