Supravital and other mitochondrial indicators have been used to study the mitochondria of the leptomonad form of L. donovani. A more or less regular pattern of existence of these bodies was noted which demonstrates the structural and physiological homogeneity in the mitochondrial reactions. The mitochondria are always found to be present in the anterior end from where the flagellum comes out.
