SUMMARY1 The source and general character of three new virus diseases occurring in Hyoscyanzus are described under the names of Hyoscyamus virus (Hy.) 11, 111 and IV. They have a host range of various solanaceous plants not including any variety of potato. 2 Hy. I1 and 111 are non‐flterable (through L 3) and are transmitted to and from all their hosts except tomato by tEe aphid Myzus persicae. Hy. I11 survives for a relatively short period as clarified juice. Hy. II and Hy. III have many characters in common and are probably closely related. 3 Hy. IV is a different type of Virus, flterable through an L 3 candle and no insect vector has yet been found for it. 4 Problems arising from consideration of the data so far accumulated are submitted and discussed.
