Summary The development of the macrogamete ofEimeria. stiedai in the epithelial cells of the bile ducts of rabbits was studied by electron microscopy. A macrogamete was first identified by the presence of a large central nucleus with prominent nucleolus, and subsequently by the appearance of wall forming bodies. The macrogamete was limited by an outer single membrane under which there were remnants of a second membrane. The parasitophorous vacuole, in which the macrogamete was located, was often narrow and it contained no intravacuolar-tubules or -folds. As macrogametogony proceeded wall forming bodies of Type I and II, canaliculi, electron pale spaces (lipid) and polysaccharide granules increased in number. Granular endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and Golgi bodies were present throughout.
