SUMMARY.1 We have measured the corpuscles in dried blood films of over 200 individual mammals, mostly wild East African forms, belonging to about 40 species. 2 There is not a great deal of variation within the species, but specific measurements vary from about 3 to 9 microns. 3 Our results agree fairly well with those of Lloyd and Johnson. 4 Closely related species, unless we consider the impala as a gazelle, have corpuscles of about the same size.
