Abstract
IT has recently been established by an electron microscopical survey that the incidence of tumour cells with virus-like particles 70 mµ in diameter varied widely in the tumour-cell populations of different examples of Rous ascites tumours1. In view of the manifest impossibility of equating unknown particles with virus on morphological grounds alone, further experiments have been made in which morphological studies were combined with biological tests.
