130. Anatomical Instruments and Material. The follow- 

 ing is a General List of the Supplies required for anatomical work. 

 A Special List will be given in connection with each kind of manipu- 

 lation. 



The names are arranged in alphabetical order. Common letters are used for the names 

 of instruments and materials which are desirable, especially in a large laboratory. The 

 names in black letter are of articles which are regarded by us as indispensable to the 

 performance of the best kind of work. 



Several articles are not marked indispensable because for them may be substituted 

 others which, although less perfect and satisfactory, may be cheaper or more easily 

 obtained. For example, ordinary cotton may be used instead of the absorbent, a pail or 

 box in place of the ansesthetic-box, crockery instead of glass, etc. Of the two syringes, 

 the cheaper is marked indispensable, but the more expensive will answer the purpose more 

 conveniently. 



In the first column are given the numbers of the figures of the instruments and appa- 

 ratus in this work. In the second column, the sections are named when possible. Usually 

 these sections occur within the present chapter, but in some cases, as with Alcohol, Jars, 

 etc., the articles are treated of elsewhere, as may be ascertained from the Index. 



In the last column are given the maximum prices of the less familiar articles. They 

 are usually taken from dealers' lists, and are therefore based upon the ordinary weights and 

 measures. It will be understood that prices vary according to the quality of the goods, 

 the state of the market, and the distance of the dealer from the place of manufacture. 



Illustrated Catalogues of Anatomical and Surgical Instruments, of Tools, of Glass-ware, 

 and of Chemical Apparatus and Supplies, may be obtained of dealers, as, for instance, 

 Codman & Shurtleff, of Boston, Shepard & Dudley, of New York, and Snowden, of 

 Philadelphia ; A. J. Wilkinson, and Goodnow & Wightman, of Boston ; Whitall, Tatum 

 & Co., of New York ; J. & H. Berge, of New York, and others.
