>In a series circuit, Q = X/R, 

Correct.  Just looked it up in "Solid State Radio Engineering" by Krause, 
Bostinian and Raab. 

For a series circuit: Q=X/R

Q is defined as: 

(2*pi*maximum instantaneous energy stored in the circuit)/energy 
dissipated per cycle

This is the general definition for Q of any circuit at resonance.(pg 41)

>while in parallel, Q = R/X.

Correct again.

Pages 78 and 79 of the book have all the useful formulas for 
parallel-series conversions for RL and RC networks:

Xp=wLp (w=greek omega, not our w)
Qp=Rp/Xp

Xs=wLs
Qs=Xs/Rs

That says it.  Peter is correct.
