On it, near the sink, is stowed a 5-gallon copper container for distilled water, and a second similar container is stowed on a bracket on the outboard bulkhead abaft the bench. On the port side of the hydrological laboratory there is another bench with a tier of drawers below it and some space for stowing boxes of water sample bottles. The bench. Fig. 2.

Along the after end of the laboratory is a large cupboard for the storage of chemicals with a fiddle on top for small Winchester bottles and other stores. Book shelves run along the port side above the windows. In both laboratories there are numerous minor fittings which occupy most of the wall space. They include racks for burettes, pipettes, measuring cylinders, Petri dishes, glass bowls, labels, tubes and reagents. Three small gimbal tables suitable for holding open Petri dishes are swung on brackets from the bulkheads over the benches, and each working place has before it a rack for receiving large numbers of specimen tubes.
