Indian Snake Poisons : Their Nature and Effects. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



Contents. 

 The Physiological Effects of the Poison of the Cobra (Naja Tripudians).— The Physio- 

 logical Effects of the Poison of Russell's Viper (Daboia Russellii).— The Physiological 

 Effects produced by the Poison of the Bungarus Fasciatus and the Bungarus Coeruleus. 

 — The Relative Power and Properties of the Poisons of Indian and other Venomous 

 Snakes.— The Nature of Snake Poisons.— Some practical considerations connected with 

 the subject of Snake-Poisoning, especially regarding Prevention and Treatment. — The 

 object that has been kept in view, has been to define as closely as possible the condi- 

 tions on which the mortality from Snake-bite depends, both as regards the physio- 

 logical nature of the poisoning process, and the relations between the reptiles and their 

 victims, so as to indicate the way in which we should best proceed with the hope of 

 diminishing the fearful mortahty that exists.

 "It was the distinguishing characteristic of our late director that he con- 

 sidered nothing unworthy of his labours that was calculated to be useful, and 

 was never influenced in his undertakings by the mere desire of acquiring 

 distinction or increasing his fame. Many of his works exhibit powers of 

 illustration and close reasoning, which will place their author in a high 

 position among the literary men of the age. But it is as a man of deep 

 research and as a Sanskrit scholar and Orientalist, as the successor of Sir Wm. 

 Jones and H. T. Colebrooke, the worthy wearer of their mantles and inheritor 

 of the pre-eminence they enjoyed in this particular department of literature, 

 that his name will especially live among the eminent men of learning of his 

 age and country." — H. T. Prinsep. 



"A work every page of which teems with information that no other 

 scholar ever has or could have placed before the public. . . . The work 

 must ever hold a foremost place not only in the history of India but in that of 

 the human race." — Edinhunjh Review. 



REV. T. P. HUGHES. 

 Dictionary of Muhamniadan Theology. 

 Notes on Muhammadanism. By Rev. T. P. Hughes, Author of 

 " Dictionary of Islam." Third Edition, revised and enlarged. Fcap. 

 8vo, 6s. 



" Altogether an admirable little book. It combines two excellent quali- 

 ties, abundance of facts and lack of theories. ... On every one of the 

 numerous heads (over fifty) into which the book is divided, Mr Hughes 

 furnishes a large amount of very valuable information, which it would be 

 exceedingly difficult to collect from even a large library of works on the 

 subject. The book might well be called a ' Dictionary of Muhammadan 

 Theology,' for we know of no English work which combines a methodical 

 arrangement (and consequently facility of reference) with fulness of informa- 

 tion in so high a degree as the little volume before us." — The Academy. 



" It contains multum in parvo, and is about the best outline of the 

 tenets of the Muslim faith which we have seen. It has, moreover, the rare 

 merit of being accurate ; and, although it contains a few passages which we 

 would gladly see expunged, it cannot fail to be useful to all Government 

 employes who have to deal with Muhammadans ; whilst to missionaries it 

 will be invaluable." — The Times of India.
