The former replaces the use of the ordinary wash- bottle, in washing off surplus stain from cover-glasses, etc., and the latter is conveniently placed for disinfection of vessels and hands after cleansing with water. They should be placed on the top of a cupboard or on a high shelf. Desiccator.—The desiccator (Fig. 273) consists of a porcelain pan containing concentrated sulphuric acid and covered over with a bell-glass receiver. The sheet of plate-glass upon which the pan rests is ground upon its upper surface, and the rim of the glass bell is also ground and well greased. In the centre of the pan is a column supporting a circular frame, which is covered with wire gauze. Slices of potatoes, upon which micro-organisms have been cultivated, are rapidly dried by the action of sulphuric acid in confined air. A detailed description of other kinds of apparatus commonly in use in a research laboratory—such as the various forms of apparatus for filtering cultures in liquids, and the reagents necessary for special chemical investigations—must be sought for elsewhere. Much information may be obtained about the most recent improve- ments in bacteriological, chemical and physical apparatus by reference to manufacturers' catalogues.* * All bacteriological apparatus may be obtained frora Berlin from Dr. Muencke, 58, Louisen Strasse, or Dr. Hermann Rohrbeok, 24, Karlstrasse. Dr. George Griibler, Leipzig, is recommended for special staining reagents. In London, chemicals and bacteriological apparatus can be
