Abstract

CHRONIC intoxication of dogs by the γ-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane was induced by repeated intramuscular injections of 10–30 mgm. of this substance in 10 per cent oily solution per kgm body-weight, until a total dose of 130–475 mgm./kgm. was reached. The dogs died or were killed seven to forty-four days after the first injection. The intoxication resulted in abnormal intracellular deposits of fat in most tissues and organs.
