Abstract
IN NATURE of Dec. 22 I notice a note extracted from the Pall Mall Gazette, giving a return of the excessive number of deaths which take place annually in the Bengal Presidency, from the effects of snake-bite. That 11,416 persons die from this cause alone, “and that no efficacious means are adopted to check its ravages,” are very startling announcements, and strike me as being well worth the attention of the readers of NATURE.
