Summary. It has been found from a comparative study of English and Canadian tomato virus diseases that the commoner viruses which affect the tomato occur in both countries. Tomato streak caused by the same single virus occurs in both countries, but streak due to a mixed‐virus infection appears to be more frequent in Canada than in England. The following diseases with their causal viruses are described in this paper. Tomato mosaic ( tobacco virus No . l), yellow mosaic of tomato ( tobacco virus No . 6), single‐virus streak ( tomato streak virus No . l), mixed‐virus streak (a tobacco virus + a potato virus) and spotted wilt ( spotted wilt virus ). The presence of the last‐named disease in Canada was not established. Ring mosaic virus and tobacco virus No . 9, which have not been recorded in England, are also described.
