Abstract
PROF. BOURNE's experiments, related in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of January 6, 1887, seem to establish the fact that although the scorpion may be provoked to strike and wound itself or another scorpion, it is incapable, in either case, of causing any toxic action, however active the virus may prove in respect of other creatures. That it is, in short, with the scorpion as it is with the cobra or viper: they poison other creatures, but not themselves or each other.
