THE selective power exhibited by insects in their transmission of different plant viruses is a subject of considerable interest since it is calculated to throw some light on the relationship between virus and insect. Such selective transmission has been studied by Hoggan1, Kenneth Smith2 and Kassanis3, while Black4 has shown that there are two strains of potato yellow dwarf virus, each with its specific insect vector.
