198 Anatomy of th^ Rabbit. 



For the storage of material either before or during dissection no pre- 

 caution is necessary except that of protecting the body from undue 

 exposure to evaporation. A convenient plan for handling the material, 

 however — one that is in use at the present time in the laboratories of the 

 University of Toronto — is that of providing for each specimen a zinc- 

 lined copper box, with sliding top, and of dimensions ample for the 

 largest specimens — namely, 6 x 6 x 20 inches. This type of storage box 

 was designed several years ago by Professor Ramsay Wright for the 

 purpose, but is one which has proved useful for storing purposes in many 

 other ways.
