X.—Case reported by Major G. Lamb, I.M.S., Plague Research 
Laboratory, Parel, Bombay, October 18, 1900. 
‘“ Ten days ago I was bitten by a large cobra, from which I was 
collecting venom. I had only some very old serum in the labora- 
tory, but I immediately gave myself an injection of 18 c.c. Three 
hours after being bitten [ felt faint, my legs became paralysed, 
and I was seized with vomiting. In the meantime, fresh serum 
had been obtained at a chemist’s, and I received an injection of 
10 c.c. The symptoms improved very rapidly, and an hour later 
I felt perfectly well. I applied no local treatment, relying 
altogether upon the serum.” 
XI.—Case reported by Dr. Angier, of Pnom-Penh (Cambodia). 
“At 11.30 one night in April, 1901, His Majesty, the second 
King of Cambodia brought to me in a carriage one of his 
wives who, when crossing the courtyard of the palace at about 
8 o’clock, was bitten by a snake, which she said was a cobra (in 
Cambodian Povek). 
“The bite was situated in the lower third of the leg, in front 
of the internal malleolus. The patient complained continually ; 
she was suffering greatly from the leg, which was swollen as high 
as the knee. Great lassitude. An injection of 10 c.c. of’ anti- 
venomous serum was given, half in the leg and half in the flank. 
The wound was washed, squeezed and dressed. Twenty minutes 
later the pain had ceased, and the patient went away, feeling 
nothing more than a slight dulness in the injured limb.” 
B.—Naja haje (Tropical Africa).
