1) Chui-koe (
Rana tigerina and
R. rugulosa) sometimes are found to have their heart beating even 30minutes after injection which has a tendency to increase with the lowering of temperature (at 10% danger rate, it was 63.82-33.46% in Summer, and 79.92-52.08% in Autumn). The limit of confidence in the mother group obtained from average values of the sample in static examples, also is so small that they cannot be used for Focke's test method (at 5% danger rate by the use of F5 leaves, it was 2.16-1.60 in the Summer and 2.14-1.45 in the Autumn).
2) Plancy frogs (
Rana plancyi Lataste) of ordinary weight (15-45g) showed no effect on Focke's values by the difference in weight both in Summer and Autumn, female and male, and at 5% danger rate. It is unnecessary to observe effects by dividing the animals into male and female if the total number is around 100. Use of this animal for Focke's method in Formosa was found to be suitable (potency, with F5-leaves, were 4.62-3.86 in the Summer and 3.16-2.56 in the Autumn: with F4.5-leaves, it was 4.42-3.52 in the Summer and 3.58-2.74 in the Autumn).
3) The difference in the potency of commercial F5-leaves (Sankyo) and F4.5-leaves (Fujisawa) is not great at 5% danger rate, no definite difference being observed (Plancy frogs).
4) Average sample values for F5- and F4.5-leaves are lower in the Summer than in Autumn, the difference being significant at 5% danger rate (Plancy frogs).
5) The digitalis leaves grown in Formosa give variable results against male and female Plancy frogs and such samples sometimes show different potency values. However, it has been shown that digitalis could be cultivated in Formosa to give leaves which would pass the rules set in Japanese Pharma-copoeae. (September 1939)
