The remaining rooms in the basement are, the 
‘animal-room,’ fitted up with tanks for the 
keeping of frogs, terrapins, and so forth; and 
the furnace-room. The latter contains a crema- 
tion-furnace, in which all the combustible débris 
of the laboratory is disposed of, and a boiler 
and condenser for the preparation of distilled 
water: it has also in it a small steam-engine, 
designed to be used for running a centrifugal 
apparatus. 
In the general internal fitting-up of the labo- 
ratory, the trustees of the university have acted

The library is a little more luxuriously fur- 
nished than the other rooms. It is carpeted, 
and supplied with armchairs. So many stu- 
dents can only afford to hire rather uncomfort- 
able lodgings, that it was believed desirable to 
provide in the library a really pleasant study, 
in which they might find at hand, not only the 
books they wanted, but writing-tables and other 
conveniences. None of the books are locked

upon the belief that it is, in the long-run, more 
economical to provide students with furniture 
which is good and attractive, and trust them 
to take care of it, than to supply cheap tables 
and cases, which the average undergraduate, at 
least, is apt to feel no hesitation in mutilating. 
The halls and lobbies are comfortably covered 
with cocoa matting ; the tables, instrument cup- 
boards, and cases of drawers are of polished 
cherry. But there has been no attempt at os- 
tentation: the furniture is all simple, though 
handsome, and finished in every essential in the 
best manner. Every drawer runs as smoothly 
as in the best cabinet work ; and each has its 
up. The student, on entering, finds before 
him a list of books which are not to be taken 
from the room, including text-books, mono- 
graphs on the plants or animals which are used 
as types in the regular class-instruction, and 
the last-received numbers of periodicals: all 
other books may be taken (subject to call for 
immediate return at any time) on the student 
writing his name, and the title of the book he 
desires to take away, on a card provided for 
the purpose, and then slipping this through 
a slit in a locked drawer. The fellows and 
scholars in the biological department act in 
turn as librarians for the day, and are present
