ANATOMY OF THE RABBIT 



LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS 



The student should provide himself with the following 

 equipment : 



I scalpel, medium size, preferably with metal handle rounded 

 at the end for probing under muscles 



I cartilage knife, with milled metal handle 



I pair dissecting scissors, large, straight, four to six inches 

 long 



I pair forceps, stout, straight, with milled points 



I pair forceps, small, four to six inches long, with fine milled 

 points, curved or straight 



I grooved director 



1 seeker, or probe 



2 dissecting needles, plain, straight, stiff 

 I small, fine carborundum stone 



I or more cheap hand towels, or cloths, which may be dis- 

 carded when greasy or dirty. 



The dissecting instruments must be of good quality and must 

 be kept sharp and in good order. The student may supply 

 himself with any additional equipment for dissection, especially 

 a small scalpel which will hold a very sharp edge and a pair of 

 small elbow or straight scissors, and may wear any sort of 

 dissecting apron, laboratory coat, or smock, with or without 

 cloth or rubber sleeve protectors. Most students prefer to roll 

 up the sleeves to being handicapped by bunglesome sleeve 

 protectors. Rubber gloves are almost useless. A good grease- 

 cutting soap, such as "lava soap," "klex," or "skat" is a boon 

 to those whose hands will bear such rough treatment.
