venom solution in ten drops of water, into muscular tissue of 
back of Heloderma (Gila monster), which had been in confine¬ 
ment for some time, and was not very strong.

the right side of the belly of the same ITeloderma.

into muscles of belly of same Heloderma.

Dec. 22.—Injected twenty-five drops of Crotalus venom solu¬

drops more into flesh of belly. Absolutely no result. 
Dec. 23.—Injected twenty-five drops of Crotalas venom solu¬ 
tion into the back of a small hog nose snake ( Heterodon platy- 
rhinos ) with no result, notwithstanding the reptile was weak and 
sickly and had been in confinement without food for over four 
months.
