This crystalline substance containing both neurotoxic and hæmolytic activities was considered by them to be a pure substance. In the course of our investigation on the separation of the various active principles of Crotalus-t-terrificus venom we have found that the hæmolysin can be partially separated from the neurotoxin by adopting the following procedure:
