Abstract
The following experimental research upon the pharmacological action of the venom of the common Krait ( Bungarus cœruleus ), was performed in the Pharmacological Laboratory of the University of Edinburgh, and we are greatly indebted to Sir Thomas R. Fraser, not only for facilities in the performance of that work, but also for the encouragement he has uniformly given us. Previous examination of the action of this venom appears to be limited to the work recorded in the papers recently published by Captain Leonard Rogers, I. M. S. He states that the symptoms following poisoning by this venom are identical with those following poisoning by Cobra venom, whereas our results, as shown below, seem to indicate that while these symptoms are similar, still they differ so much in relative degree as to render it doubtful if they can in future he spoken of as identical.Keywords
