2. Tarpeia beta spec. nov. From sec- 

 ond letter of Cireek alphabet. 



('ommon name : Influenza B virus. 



Hosts : HOM I N I DAE^Homo sapiens 

 L., man. Experimentally, also ferret, 

 mouse, chick embryo. 



Geographical distribution: United 

 States, England. 



Induced disease : In man, subclinical 

 disease or one resembling that induced by 

 influenza A virus. In chick embryo, ex- 

 perimentally, virus increases in entoder- 

 mal cells lining allantoic cavity. 



Serological relationships : Not neutral- 

 ized by antiserum to influenza A virus. 

 Specific neutralization and complement- 

 fixation reactions. Rapidly adsorbed by 

 normal chicken-blood red cells (95 per 

 cent in 15 minutes) ; released in 4 hours 

 essentially completely; the process is 

 then repeatable with fresh red cells. 



Other properties : Particle circular or 

 bean-shaped in outline, with average di- 

 ameter of 97.3 millimicrons in electron 

 micrographs ; of 99.8 millimicrons by 

 centrifugation studies.

3. Tarpeia premens spec. nov. From 

 Latin premere, to oppress or afflict. 



Common name : Common-cold virus. 

 Hosts : HOM I N I DAE— Homo sapiens
