A total of 849 samples of pig sera were tested for antibodies to L. canicola, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. pomona, L. ballum, L. sejroe, L. grippotyphosa, L. hyos (mitis Johnson), and L. bataviae. Positive results were obtained in 57 samples to all but the last three serotypes.

I wish to thank Mr J. Norval of Edinburgh and Mr W. R. P. Hildebrand of Belfast for supplying the sera and Dr A. Wilson Taylor for his interest and supervision.

I am greatly indebted to the late Dr J. C. Broom of the Wellcome Laboratories of Tropical Medicine for the supply of leptospira.
