![Sleeping Sickness one must distinguish morphologically scvcnil forms : typical adult forms ; atypical adult forms ; forms in dittercnt stages of longitudinal division ; Rabinovitsh-Kempner bodies ; Plimmer-Bradford amcfiboid forms. It would be premature to come to any definite conclusions, but fn^m these observations it would seem that in the trypanosome of Sleeping Sickness the multij)lication by longitudinal division is not the oidy mode of reproduction. DESCRIPTION OF PLATES. Plate 1. Figs. 1—5.—Typical adult forms. Figs. 6, 7, 8.—Aty]Dical adult forms. Figs. 9, 10, 11.—Forms m various stages of longitudinal division. Figs. 12, 13, 14.—Different types of develoiDmental forms. Plate 2. Figs. 15—19.—Amoeboid forms (cerebro-spinal fluid). Fig. 20.—Aggregation of amoeboid forms near a leucocyte (cerebro-spinal fluid). Fig. 21.—Fusion form ? This is probably a degeneration form representing perhaps several trypanosomes ■nliich hare conglomerated and fused. Fig. 22.—Aggregation of amoeboid forms simvilating perhaps a plasmodum formation (cerebro-spinal fluid). Fig. 23.—Amoeboid and fusion forms. Fig. 21.—Conjugation form ? (cerebro-spinal fluid). Figs. 25—26.—Aggregation of amoeboid forms. Fig. 27.—Conjugation form. Fig. 28.—Fusion form ? This represents, perhaps, the several trypanosomes which have fused together, and are in a state of degeneration. Fig. 29.—Levxcocyte engulfing a trypanosome.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b24750530_0002_0025.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
