1. The intraspinal MLC of 2 well-known local anesthetics, procaine-hydrochloride and nupercaine, and of one new local anesthetic, monócaine formate, was determined in rabbits and cats.
2. In the determination of the intraspinal MLC, the spinal length is a consistent basis for the calculation of dosage for both the rabbit and the cat.
3. A new local anesthetic, monócaine formate, according to the criteria used in this study seems as effective as, and safer than, procaine-hydrochloride.
