Abstract EDITOR'S NOTE: Speculation, if it does not “carry across” and become accepted as fact, has an important place in advancing scientific discovery. The following most interesting attempt to correlate some of our knowledge regarding filterable viruses, bacteriophage and genes will doubtless create violent opposition in some quarters and other profound reactions elsewhere. Some of the observations and conclusions on which Dr. Lindegren bases his thesis are not universally accepted by all workers in the fields in question. At the risk of engendering heat as zvell as light, the editor has found considerable support for the view that Dr. Lindegren's expedition into the speculative hinterland of the gene and its non-corporeal neighbors (as far as accepted definitions of vital corporeality are concerned) may bring some very useful synthetic thinking back alive and kicking enough to be tested experimentally, and verified or quietly made an end to. This possibility is alluring enough so tliat the editor has gone forward hopefully, even though he fully realises that much verbal fire and brimstone may descend upon him because he has opened his pages to something else besides the recording and codification of “demonstrated fact,”—whatever that may be!
