This paper, of 133 pages, constitutes a general review of the literature concerning the reactions between viruses (including plant viruses and bacteriophages) and their homologous antisera. It was undertaken primarily in connexion with the authors' own studies on those viruses that produce discrete pocks on the chorio-allantoic membrane of the developing egg. This method is particularly well adapted to the quantitative study of reactions of this kind, and a great part of the data presented has been obtained by work along these lines. The animal viruses considered in detail include those of vaccinia, influenza, louping ill, Rift Valley fever, equine encephalomyelitis, Newcastle disease, infectious laryngotracheitis of fowls, and myxpmatosis of rabbits; and there is a considerable section on the immunological reactions of the bacteriophages, largely based on the extensive and well-known studies of the senior author, but including more recent experiments carried out in connexion with the particular problems under consideration. The short section on plant viruses is wholly a compilation from the literature. The monograph should be carefully studied by all those who are interested in this field of research. W. W. C. Topley.
