 parts of the 40$ formalin.

 Iodine solution. Weak — to 3ooce distilled water add 2 grams 



iodide of potassium; to this add 

 1 gram iodine crystals.

STUDENT LIST OF APPARATUS. 



One scalpel. 



One pair forceps, fine points. 



Two dissecting needles (may be made by thrusting with aid 

 of pincers a sewing needle in the end of a small soft pine stick). 



Lead-pencils, one medium and one hard. 



Note paper; a good paper, about octavo size, smooth, un- 

 ruled, with two perforations on one side for binding. Several 

 manila covers or folders to contain the paper, perforated also. 

 Enough covers should be provided so that notes and illustrations 

 on different subjects can be kept separate. 



REFERENCE BOOKS. 



The following books are suggested as suitable ones to have 

 on the reference shelves, largely for the use of the teacher, but 

 several of them can with profit be consulted by the students 

 also. There are a number of other useful reference books in 

 German and French, and also a number of journals, which 

 might be possessed by the more fortunate institutions, but 

 which are too expensive for general use, and they are not listed 

 here.
