A male spectacled caiman, aged one year (crocodyle) was dissected in 10 hours after death. The results obtained were as follows : 1) Arsenic intoxication (Arsenic was found in liver cells, Kuppfer cells, epithelial cells of renal tubules, subepithelial spaces of collecting tubules and subepithelial spaces of large intestine.). 2) Detection of thorium and uranium (Uranium in liver cells and in epithelial cells of kidneys. Thorium in liver cells.) 3) Marasmus. 4) Fluid blood. 5) Hemosiderosis in liver, spleen and bone marrows. 6) Glomerulonephritis and nephrosis. 7) Degeneration of heart mucles. 8) Broncho-pneumonia of right lung and traheo-bronchitis. 9) Degeneration of nervous cells and atrophy of nervous fibers in spinal cord. 10) Hyperkeratosis of scales (Dorsal and tail parts.). 11) SweIling of the 3rd∿4th costal verteble and the 4th right rib The death of this animal was due to chronic arsenic intoxication.
