Abstract
The evidence for a 42 capsomere structure for the capsid of the papova viruses and 92 for reovirus and woundtumor viruses is corroborated. Some of the difficulties inherent in comparing large-scale icosahedral models with high-resolution electron micrographs of virus particles displaying cubic symmetry are discussed.Keywords
