Extract

An amoeba was found in the faeces of ten out of fourteen English goats from three different localities.

The amoeba, of which a detailed description is given, is morphologically identical with Entamoeba debliecki of the pig and is therefore included in the same species.

A statistical analysis shows that the caprine strains of E. debliecki comprise two races distinguishable from one another by the size of their cysts but identical in all other features.

The caprine amoeba appears to be non-pathogenic.

In view of their bearing upon the systematic position of the parasite of the goat, a critical review is given of the data concerning the various amoebae previously recorded from the pig, goat and some other ruminants.
