The characters of seven clones of virus derived from mixed infections with alastrim and rabbit pox have been described. One clone was shown to behave as rabbit pox in respect of all its markers. The other six were found to be distinct new types of virus, each having a different combination of the parental characters. The reasons for accepting these viruses as hybrids have been discussed. An analysis of the pairwise crosses between individual markers suggested that each of the nine markers was capable of segregating independently.
