virus, also by some enteroviruses and by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Other colds can be trans mitted to volunteers by means of filtration of nasal washings from which no virus has been cultivable. Of the viruses concerned in colds in adults and which have been cultivated, the rhinoviruses seem to be the most important. They are rather more difficult to isolate and study than are other known respiratory viruses, and it seems possible that, as techniques are improved, more and more colds will turn out to be due to rhinoviruses. This review will deal with recent additions to knowledge about the properties of rhinoviruses, their role in disease, and prospects of immunization against them. The sec tion on epidemiology will be concerned also with other respiratory viruses. There have recently been published two review articles (1, 2) on rhinoviruses; also two books on common colds, one directed to medical (3), the other to lay readers (4).
