Results of a correlation study of the rabbit neutralization, complement fixation, skin and slide neutralization tests for toxoplasmosis are presented. The agreement between these is fairly striking, except those from the complement test.

Reversal of a positive test was found to occur in the sera of six patients, and, in three instances, the prozone phenomenon was revealed.

The new slide neutralization test of Sabin and Feldman appears to be the most accurate, the most economical and the quickest test available at present for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis.
