Abstract

A comparison of the toxicity of the seed of 5 species of Lathyrus for the rat has been made. Intoxication with L. sylves-tris Wagneri has also been studied in the white mouse, rabbit, and guinea pig. A partial purification of the toxic principle of L. sylvestris Wagneri which has concentrated the factor about 40 times is described.
