Dear Josh:

Some years back Sir MacFarland BurnetW attracted
considerable attention with a statement concerning the possi-
bilities inherent in the appearance of a new viral agent of
disease, I have been trying without success to track the
reference down, Do you by any chance have it at your
fingertips? Many thanks,

73.3N

Best regards,
