ClARK-KanTOR : TOXICOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS WITH FUNGI 185 



Experiment 6. July 26, 1910. Frog 10. Weight, 31 grams. 

 Received an injection of 1 c.c. of this extract at 2.55 P.M. 



3.15 P.M. Lethargic. 



5.30 P.M. Partly paralyzed. 



July 27, 9.30 A.M. Apparently normal. 



Experiment 7. July 28, 1910. Frog 10a. Weight, 28 grams. 

 At 2.06 P.M. received an injection of 1.5 c.c. of the extract admin- 

 istered to the frog in Experiment 6. 



2.12 P.M. Partly paralyzed. 

 3.30 P.M. Wholly paralyzed. 



July 29, 9.20 A.M. Apparently normal. 



Experiments 6 and 7 were repeated in every particular, with a 

 new extract. The final residue weighed 0.43 gram. It was dis- 

 solved in 20 c.c. of water. The test for cholin was positive. 



Experiment 8. January 20, 191 1. Frog 16. Weight, 33 grams. 

 Received an injection of 1 c.c. of this extract at 3.12 P.M. 



3.16 P.M. Excited. 



3.23 P.M. Very lethargic, partly paralyzed. 

 3.30 P.M. Wholly paralyzed. 



4.00 P.M. Recovering. Bloated. Partly paralyzed. 

 4.30 P.M. Slightly paralyzed. 

 January 21, 9.10 A.M. Lethargic ( ?), bloated. 

 4.00 P.M. Normal, bloated (?). 



Experiment p. January 19, 191 1. Frog 17. Weight, 37 grams. 

 At 4.07 P.M. received an injection of 1 c.c. of the extract admin- 

 istered to the frog in Experiment 8. 



4.13 P.M. Excited. 



4.25 P.M. Very lethargic. 

 4.40 P.M. Lethargic and partly paralyzed. 

 January 20, 9.00 A.M. Lethargic and bloated. 

 January 21, 9.15 A.M. Normal. 



Second Group. The evaporated remainders of the Inocybe 

 extracts prepared for use in Experiments 4-9 were combined, 

 redissolved, and the alkaloidal separation process applied to the 

 resulting solution. The precipitate given with potassio-mercuric 

 iodide was light in color and in such a finely divided state that it 

 was filtered off with difficulty. The precipitate was not as yellow 

 as that from Amanita muse aria, nor was it as crystalline in ap-
