SYNOPSIS. 45% of the agamid lizards captured in the Harbel area of Liberia harboured haemosporidia. These were Haemamoeba (= Plasmodium ) agamae, H. giganteum and a Haemoproteus. A full description of H. agamae and H. giganteum blood forms is made and the discovery is reported of exo‐erythrocytic forms of H. agamae in the spleen and of H. giganteum in the brain and liver. One oöcyst of H. agamae is reported in Aedes aegypti.
