I saw you take the sputa of a ague patient and demonstrate the spores and sporangia of the Gemiasma verdans. 3d. You said it was not common to find the full development in the urine of such cases, but only in the urine of the old severe cases. This was a mild case. 4th.
Gemiasma verdans found abundantly with many other things, which if rehearsed would cloud this story. Observation 24. Scrapings from the dirty end of the stick gave specimens of the beautiful double wall palmellae and some empty G. verdans. Observation 25.
First Studies to find in their natural habitat the palmellae described as the Gemiasma rubra, Gemiasma verdans, Gemiasma plumba, Gemiasma alba, Protuberans lamella. Second Outfit.

I found an abundance of the saline incrustation of which you have spoken, and at the time of my first visit there was a little pond hole just east of the point named that was in the act of drying up. Finally it dried completely up, and then the saline and green incrustations both were abundant enough. The only species, however, I found of the ague plants was the Gemiasma verdans.
Observation 5. Seated on long marsh grass I scraped carefully from the stalks near the roots of the grass where the plants were protected from the action of the sunlight and wind.

Also has used arsenic, but it did not agree with him. Also used Capsicum with good results. Had enlarged spleen; not so now. 2d specimen of Mr. Smith's blood. Stelline, no Gemiasma. 3d specimen, do.
I examined some of an incrustation that was copiously deposited in the same locality, which was not white or frosty, but dark brown and a dirty green. Here the spores were very abundant, and a few sporangias of the Gemiasma rubra. Ague has of late years been noted in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Observations in Connecticut.
