Abstract
Venoms from the Elapidae were found to be the most toxic, followed by the Viperidae and Crotalidae. Venoms of the latter showed the highest variation in toxicity among the various species. The Elapidae venoms were practically void of proteolytic activity, while those of the Crotalidae were by far the most potent in this respect with the Viperidae venoms in the intermediate position. Of the three families investigated, the Crotalidae venoms were the richest sources of over-all enzymatic activity.
