Paragraph twos L. 1. Certain strains or isolates of a pathovar 
of 2^ svr ingae ( P . s . pv. svr ingae ) have been... 
Page 24. Last paragraph: In summary, there are both 
non-pathogenic and pathogenic strains of 2^. svrlngae . Some 
strains of £* pv. svrinoae have... (This is analogous, for 
example, to the situation of the well-known Escherichia coll * 
which consists of both pathogenic . and non-pathogenic strains. 
However, pathogenic strains of this bacterium are not given a 
latinized infrasubspecific epithet) . 
Page 25. L. 3. 2_«. svr ingae colonizes the leaf surfaces of 
different plants? some of these strains seem to be specific for 
certain host plants. 
Page 33. Paragraph one. It should not be implied that all 
naturally-occurring 2^. svr ingae have arisen due to deletion 
mutations. There is no evidence for this that I know of? i.e. it 
is likely that many, if not most, INA-P . svr ingae never were INA + 
(e.g. see Gross, reference above). 
I hope these comments are helpful. 
Sincerely.
