SYNOPSIS.Sarcocystis nesbitti n. sp. was found in the skeletal muscles of 2 of 44 Macaca mulatta monkeys. The cysts were 100‐1100 by 165 μ with a wall 1.2‐1.6 μ wide and contained trophozoites 7–9 by 2–3 μ. Sarcocystis kortei was found in 1 of the rhesus monkeys, 1 Erythrocebus patas and 1 Cercopithecus mitis. Its cysts were 400‐800 by 100‐150 μ, with a wall 5‐6 μ thick and trophozoites 9‐14 by 3‐4 μ.
