1. The following causes of death had been chosen: electric current, Strophanthin, ethers, pneumothorax, cerebral anoxia, E 605.

2. In contrast, the aglycone k-Strophanthidin enters the brain less readily than the glycosides k-Strophanthin γ and α.

3. Depressant effects predominated, but the aglycone Digitoxigenin and in mice also the glycosides k-Strophanthin γ and α had convulsant actions.
