Abstract
IT has been observed that emulsions in saline of the lesions produced on the chorioallantois by the virus of infectious ectromelia of mice have the capacity of agglutinating fowl erythrocytes. As is the case with vaccinia virus preparations1, only about 50 per cent of individual fowls provide susceptible cells. Cells susceptible to one virus are susceptible to agglutination by the other. Agglutination by infectious ectromelia virus is inhibited by anti-vaccinial immune serum from calves.
