The numbers indicate the relation which the samples of ganja, bhang, or charas respec-
tively bear to each other in each group separately. They do not indicate any relation between
ganja and bhang or between either of these two and charas—thus Kistna ganja is 2.6 times
as potent as Ghazipur illicit ganja and Amritsar charas, mashak, 32 times as potent as Gwalior
charas. Amballa bhang is 31 times more powerful than Bhagalpur bhang.

Vide concluding remarks.

                    RECORD OF THE SECOND SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS.

(a) A dose of the alcoholic extract equal to 1/120,000 part of the body weight was first tried in
the case of every sample of the hemp drugs.

                                Experiment No. 1, Ghazipur illicit ganja.

Female cat, weight 5 lb 13 1/4 oz. Dose .34 grains at 1-30 P.M. Effect nil.

                                    Experiment No. 2, Sholapur ganja.

Weight of cat. 3 lb 1 1/2 oz. Dose .18 grain at 12-15 P.M., 1-15 P.M., slight tremor of body
and appears uncomfortable. 2 P.M., dull and torpid; appears to have some difficulty in walk-
ing, though no weakness of the limbs to be made out; the appearance suggests the idea that
the initiation of the act of walking is difficult and that sufficient voluntary impulse is not
forthcoming. 3 P.M., asleep with its nose resting on the ground. 3-30 P.M., still asleep in the
same position.

                                  Experiment No. 3, Khandesh ganja.

Weight of cat 4 lb 12 3/4 oz. Dose .28 grain at 12 noon. 1-30 P.M., rocking movements.
2 P.M., difficulty in walking with uncertainty of action most marked in the hind limbs.
3  P.M., drowsy; on walking displays staggering uncertain gait. 4 P.M., walks fairly well
now, and is apparently recovering.

                                Experiment No. 4, Satara ganja, No. 1.

Weight of cat 4 Ib 3 oz. Dose .24 grain at 12-30 P.M. Slight rocking movements were-
observed, but the effects did not appear equal to those of the minimum dose of the standards,
extract. It was consequently determined to give a slightly larger quantity.
