FOOTNOTES:

[1] A curious organism, parasitic in a gregarine, has lately been
described by Dogiel as a coccidian, and termed _Hyalosphaera_.

[2] It is important to note that in schizogony there is never any
cyst or cyst-membrane formed around the parasite.

[3] The merozoites are frequently arranged like the staves of a
barrel--whence the term _barillet_, which is frequently used.

[4] In _Cyclospora_, Schaudinn (1902) has noted certain abnormal
cases of the persistence and further multiplication of the
"reduction-nuclei" of the female element (i.e. the nuclear portions
given off during maturation), followed by multiple fertilization.
This occurrence points strongly to the conclusion that there were
originally many female gametes (cf. also the sporoblasts of
Gregarines).

[5] The remarkable forms parasitic in Cephalopods (of late known as
_Eucoccidium_), if still ranked with the Coccidia, furnish an
exception (see below).

[6] Again with the exception of _Eucoccidium_.

[7] Purists in systematic nomenclature maintain that this name should
be relinquished in favour of _Eimeria_, since the latter was the
first legitimate generic name given to a Coccidian. But one reason
against the use of _Eimeria_ has been stated already (it should be
used for _E. (Legerella) nova_, if anywhere); and in addition, the
word _Coccidium_ and its important derivatives are now so universally
established that it would be little short of ridiculous to displace
them.

COCCULUS INDICUS, the commercial name for the dried fruits of _Anamirta
Cocculus_ (natural order Menispermaceae), a large climbing shrub, native
to India. It contains a bitter poisonous principle, _picrotoxin_, used
in small doses to control the night sweats of phthisis. It was formerly
known as Levant nut and Levant shell, owing to the fact that it was
brought to Europe by way of the Levant.

COCHABAMBA, a central department of Bolivia, occupying the eastern angle
of the great Bolivian plateau, bounded N. by the department of El Beni,
E. by Santa Cruz, S. by Chuquisaca and Potosi, and W. by Potosi, Oruro
and La Paz. Area, 23,328 sq. m.; pop. (1900) 328,163. Its average
elevation is between 8000 and 10,000 ft., and its mean temperature
ranges from 50 deg.
