Finally, it may be of interest to note that the ratio of comple- ment-fixation to haemagglutination-inhibition or neutralization titres seemed to remain stable over the eight-month period studied, unlike what has been reported after natural measles (Stokes et al., 1961), or after immunization with live vaccine (Stokes et al., 1962), in which cases a drop in complement- fixation titres relative to neutralization titres were observed. Whether or not this apparent difference is significant will be elucidated by further follow-up studies.
