Abstract
ING and Wright1,2, in two comprehensive papers, presented the results of the measurement of the curariform activity of an extensive series of onium salts. Later, Ing3 reviewed the literature up to 1936. Since that time much interesting work on the subject has appeared, the three papers by Raventos4, Clark and Raventos5 and Raventos6 being of special interest from the theoretical point of view.
