Abstract
THE invisible multiplying bodies generally known as filterable viruses are among the most interesting things in biology to-day, partly because they are the cause of many diseases in animals and plants, and chiefly because they seem as if they might in the end prove to be some of the transitional forms between live and dead matter. Knowledge about them is moving so quickly that it is difficult to know at any moment where we are, and the compilation which Dr. E. B. McKinley has put together will be welcomed as a useful attempt to summarise all we know of them up to date.
