VENOMS IN THE ANIMAL SERIES 311 



The venoms of all the fishes of which I have just given a brief 

 description, as regards their physiological action, present a fairly 

 close resemblance to the venom of the Weever, and show scarcely 

 any variation except in the intensity of their effects. They have 

 been but little studied hitherto, and it is desirable that they should 

 be better understood.
