The investigation recorded in the present paper was undertaken as a corollary to the clinical trials with a new antityphoid serum, the results of which were recently published (Felix, 1935). Its object was to enquire into:

(i) the occurrence of Vi antigen in strains of B. typhosus freshly isolated from cases of typhoid fever;

(ii) the occurrence of Vi antibody in the blood serum of typhoid patients and convalescents.
