One virulent and three avirulent potato virus X strains were characterized qualitatively and quantitatively by the reactions of Gomphrena globosa and Capsicum frutescens. Spontaneous virulent mutants arose from time to time in the avirulent strains cultured in Datura stramonium. Avirulent strains developing low virus concentrations in their host plant had higher mutation rates than one developing a higher concentration in the host.

Chicken antiserum was produced by three wing vein inoculations with sap from Datura meteloides and Datura Stramonium plants infected with "potato virus X". Before injection, the saps were purified by the Bawden and Pirie method. This antiserum formed a conspicuous precipitate when incubated for three hours at 37 °C. with similarly purified sap of these two plant species when they were infected with the X or healthy potato virus, but failed to form any precipitate when incubated in the same way with purified sap from virus-free plants. Two unknown viruses, one from spinach and the other from tomato were established as belonging to the X group by the precipitin reaction through the use of chicken antisera. The serological grouping was supported by the fact that the unknowns had similar, if not identical lethal temperatures, longevities in vitro, and host ranges as the ordinary potato virus X.
