S ummary . Precipitin reactions with several plant viruses propagated in serologically unrelated hosts offer additional evidence that the virus is, in itself, antigenic. Reciprocal precipitin tests show that the viruses of cucumber mosaic, tobacco ringspot, and tobacco mosaic are serologically distinct; whereas tobacco mosaic virus, aucuba mosaic virus (green and yellow strains), and probably tomato streak virus remain serologically indistinguishable. No soluble specific substance was isolated from the juice of virus diseased plants or of healthy tomato by the methods employed.
