Abstract
Summary and Conclusions The venoms of six species of North American rattlesnakes, which were studied, contain identical or almost identical toxic principles. The toxic principles of the copperhead and moccasin are identical or almost so, but differ to some extent from those of the rattlesnakes. The venom of Crotalus terrificus the dog-faced rattlesnake of Central and South America, and the venom of Bothrops atrox, the fer de lance, contain principles differing entirely from those of the Nearctic rattlesnakes as regards their antigenic properties. Rattlesnake venoms contain, in addition to their acutely toxic principles, other components, which have the power to bind antibodies, but which are not acutely toxic to the pigeons.
