Collidin \kol'-id-in) [n6A?.a, glue], C H 1I,,N. A name 

 given to N'encki's ptomaine-base, isomeric but not 

 identical with aldehyd-collidin. The ptomaine was 

 obtained from pancreas and gelatin allowed to putrefy 

 together in water. Its constitution is still unknown. 

 The free base is oily, and possesses a peculiar, agree- 

 able odor. Nencki believed it an aromatic base. Its 

 physiologic action appears to be doubtful, but an 

 isomer of it discovered in ox-blood fibrin and in 

 putrefied jelly-fish has a poisonous effect resembling 

 that of curara. Frogs poisoned by the isomer emit 

 an orange-flower odor. N'encki's collidin is isomeric 

 with collidin obtained from coal-tar.
