Before dealing with their characters let us understand what kindof apparatus figures in the formidable in-juries they inflict, sometimes causing deathwith man in a few hours—and, more rarely,in a few minutes time. These snakes do not sting. The injurythey inflict is a bite, dealt with a pair ofhollow teeth on the upper jaw. Theseteeth have an opening at their tip for theejection of venom. They are exactly likethe hypodermic needle. Each fang con-nects with a gland behind the eye andthis secr

RMREHR1M–. Cold-blooded vertebrates: part I. Fishes. Fishes; Amphibians; Reptiles. SNAKES The fangs of the poisonous snakes are teeth more or less modified for the ejection of venom. The tongue has nothing whatever to do with the poison-ejecting mecha- nism and even in the deadHest species can inflict no injury. The most highly specialized development of teeth into poison ejectors occurs in the snake family to which the rattlesnake belongs, the Crotalidae. Their fangs are true hypodermic needles—very long, rigid, hollow teeth with an opening at the end—on either side of the upper jaw.. -5^>^. Please

RMRJPR66–. The Australian Museum magazine. Natural history. POISON APPARATUS OF RATTLE SNAKE. BC4W c. The cnoin apparatus of a snake consists of a pair of hollow or grooved fangs, situated one each side of the upper jaw, generally at the front of the maxillary bone. To each of the fangs is attached a tube and a venom gland, the latter lying along the upper jaw, just under or behind the eye. When a snake bites, the muscles which surround the gland squeeze out the venom, force it along the tube and into the hollow fang, through which it passes, eventually finding its way out through an opening near the
