1. Peptone shock in dogs is accompanied by the appearance of a vasodepressor substance which is detectable in the blood and occasionally in the thoracic duct lymph.
2. The vasodepressor substance has been tentatively identified as histamine.
3. The theory that peptone shock in dogs is produced indirectly by the liberation of a vasodepressor substance from the tissues is advanced and shown to be more compatible with the general characteristics of the reaction than the assumption that peptone is inherently a toxic substance.
