Summary
A small trypanosome was met with in the blood of a buffalo and its morphology differed widely from that of the usual type ofT. evansi. A biological study of the organism was made on small laboratory and large animals, which also indicated that the trypanosome was different fromT. evansi. It is considered that the organism studied is a variant ofT. evansi if not an entirely new one, and the author has named itT. evansi var.rayi, after Dr. H. N. Ray.
