Abstract
IN blood smears from horses stained according to the ordinary methods Giemsa and May-Grünewald Giemsa, we encounter serious difficulties in the examination: first, to differentiate between large lymphocytes and small monocytes, secondly, to determine qualitative changes in the white blood corpuscles. In order to remedy this, we have employed as a supplementary method, in an extensive investigation into the white blood picture in the case of infectious anæmia in horses, supra-vital staining with neutral-red.
