Summary

The differential diagnostic points in the morphology and development of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium falciparum quotidianum, as observed in the blood of man and mentioned in this contribution are best summarized in tabular form and the following table has been prepared and will be found useful in differentiating the aestivo-autumnal plasmodia. It should be remembered that the differentiation of these plasmodia does not rest upon any single morphological peculiarity but rather upon the summation of all the differential points considered.
