Electron micrographs of intracellular meningopneumonitis virus have shown several types of particles which are presumably representative of different stages of a life cycle. They are (a) Elementary bodies-dense particles 250 to 300 mu in diameter with very dense central granules. (b) Intermediate forms - less dense than elementary bodies and larger. They are 300 to 400 mu. in diameter, contain a very dense central granule, and often have 2 or 3 limiting zones. (c) Circles 400 to 500 mu in diameter - homogeneous structures with single membranes and no internal granules. They are often elongated and constricted at the center in the manner of budding yeast cells. (d) Circles 500 to 600 mu. in diameter with single membranes.[long dash]One, two, and three dense granules may be present in some of these structures, (e) "Larger" structures, circular to elliptical, often with discontinuities or ruptures in their membranes. They sometimes seem to have internal septa. It has been inferred from these observations that the virus can multiply by binary fission or by multiple endosporu-lation and that elementary bodies are a spore-like stage.
