        12. The minimum lethal dose for rats of about 115 grammes weight of
the sample of venom used for these experiments was found to be 0.07 milli-
gramme. In a previous paper (vide reference 6), I stated that the minimum
lethal dose for rats of this weight was 0.04 milligramme. A different sample
of venom, however, had been used for these first observations. It is evident,
therefore, that, as different samples of venom vary in toxicity, for each sample
the minimum lethal dose should be determined for all experiments having in
view the testing of an antitoxic serum.
