Excerpt from Experimental Contributions to the Toxicology of Rattle-Snake Venom Four other pigeons, of nearly the same age as the last set, were treated in precisely the same manner, with one-fourth ofa drop of venom. One of these died in three minutes, and the others were found dead after seventeen hours. Below this amount of venom the fatal result, though frequent, was uncertain, while it was, at all events, rare to see an escape when one-fourth ofa drop was used.

Excerpt from Experimental Contributions to the Toxicology of Rattle-Snake Venom Four other pigeons, of nearly the same age as the last set, were treated in precisely the same manner, with one-fourth ofa drop of venom. One of these died in three minutes, and the others were found dead after seventeen hours. Below this amount of venom the fatal result, though frequent, was uncertain, while it was, at all events, rare to see an escape when one-fourth ofa drop was used. As to the symptoms, I have only a few remarks to add, in completion of the elaborate details of my for mer papers. The novel point refers to the possibility of death by haemorrhage from the fang wounds. This accident, unlikely to occur in large quadrupeds, some times takes place in pigeons; and at all events, loss of blood may 'so reduce the strength of small animals as efficiently to aid the after action of the poison in produc ing a fatal result. The primary swelling which sur rounds the wound, was at one time conceived to be inflammatory; but, as I first pointed out, it is entirely composed of blood, the haemorrhage being brought about and sustained by two sets of causes, which I shall have occasion at another place to dwell upon more specifically.
