C.--Bungarus fasciatus. XVI.--Case reported by Surgeon-Captain Jay Gould (Nowgong, Central India, _British Medical Journal_, October 10, 1896, p. 1025). “On June 11, 1896, a punkah coolie was bitten on the dorsum of the left foot, between the second and third toes. He had only the distinct mark of an incisor, a very slight prick, with a stain of blood which marked the spot. Within ten minutes we had injected 20 c.c. of Calmette’s serum into the abdominal wall, after which we made a local injection of a 1 in 60 solution of hyperchlorite of calcium. Two hours after the injection the temperature was subnormal, the pulse full and slow. Twelve hours later the patient was perfectly well and walking about. “The snake was a Bungarus, full grown, measuring 28 inches. Unfortunately the syces killed it; it died the very moment I arrived, so that I was unable to test its virulence.” D.--Bungarus cæruleus. XVII.--Case reported by Major S. J. Rennie, R.A.M.C., Meerut, N.W.P., India. “A twelve-year old Hindu boy, named Moraddy, was brought to me at 6 p.m., on July 10, in a semi-comatose condition, with commencing paralysis of the respiratory muscles. I was told that the child was sleeping on the ground, when he was bitten in the left hand. He immediately felt very great pain and giddiness, and his arm began to swell. Two small wounds were clearly visible, corresponding to the marks of the fangs of a krait, or _Bungarus cæruleus_. “The child had salivation, and ptosis of both eyelids. Respiration was difficult, and deglutition impossible; the pulse was 110 and dicrotic. The patient’s breathing was of an abdominal character; the surface of the body was covered with cold sweat. The child soon became lethargic and collapsed; his condition appeared absolutely desperate. I gave a subcutaneous injection of 12 c.c. of antivenomous serum, and commenced artificial respiration, which I continued for half an hour in order to give the serum time to take effect. In forty-eight hours the symptoms gradually disappeared, and the child became quite well. Diplopia of the left eye persisted for a few days, but this also entirely passed away. “This case shows that, in Calmette’s antivenomous serum, we have a very powerful remedy against snake-bites, which may take effect even in desperate cases. It further proves that the serum will keep for a very long time, even when exposed to all the vicissitudes of the Indian climate, for the serum employed by me had been in my possession for nearly four years.” E.--Sepedon hæmachates (Berg-Adder). XVIII.--Case reported by Mr. W. A. G. Fox, Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope.
