and blood; the general symptoms being, first, a great fall of the body temperature, and a condition of stupor, ending in death.3. The activity of both these proteids is destroyed by m oist heat. In solution the activity of the globulin is destroyed at between 75° and 80° C., and that of the albumose between 80° and 85° 0 .4. That abrus-poison resembles snake-venom in chemical composi tion, in the local lesions produced, in producing a fair of body tem perature, in causing semi-fluidity or fluidity of the blood after death, and, to some extent, in the effect of moist heat on it. Abrus-poison is, however, much less active than snake-venom.The following table shows a comparison between the activity of the venom of various snakes and of Abrus :-
