Spanish Tarantula. Araneidea.
The male and female Tarentula used in the provings were collected by Doctor Mariano de la Paz Gralls, at the royal residence of Pardo, Spain, in the month of July, during which time the poison is stronger ; dilutions used 3, 6, 12 and 200 ; the medicine was prepared from the live spider, all its parts triturated in sugar of milk to complete dryness, and from this the alcoholic dilution.
The Mygale сubanensis, which may be called the сuban Tarantula, also found in South сarolina and Texas, is a larger spider of a dark-brown color, not so poisonous, and covered with more hairs than the Tarantula Hispanica. Doctor Howard had some specimens sent from сuba, and the medicine he uses is prepared by macerating the whole spider in alcohol. We have not had a good proving of it. In the Hah. M., vol. 5, p. 8, something has been done in that direction, and some interesting facts were collected by Doctor Howard.
Provings made by Monge, del Rio, Tejero, Fejedor, сuesta, Dubost, Perry, Ros, Iturralde, Gonzales and сhategnier, were reported by Nunez, translated by Terry, see Am. Jour. of Hom., N. S., vol. 2, p. 387.
