SPONTANEOUS sarcomas of the domestic fowl are relatively common (Olson and Bullis, 1942; Campbell, 1945) while leukaemias not infrequently reach epizootic levels in commercial flocks (Olson, 1948). Both of these are considered to be of viral origin although this point is very rarely investigated. In consequence, the characterisation of the viruses is hardly ever attempted. Their viral origin therefore remains in most instances an unproven assumption. Hence any attempt to consider in a scientific manner the epidemiology of either condition founders at once in the absence of information concerning the number and mutability of any viruses present in a particular flock. The present account deals with three new sarcomata isolated at this Centre and arising from spontaneous cases submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture's diagnostic laboratory at Lasswade. The co-operation of their staff is appreciated.
