DESCRIPTION OF LABORATORIES 17 
the special features of the Laboratories are the impervious opaline tops covering the benches, 
diminishing the risk of contamination, and facilitating cleaning operations ; the use of steam for 
boiling operations, a plentiful electric supply working the lamps and the numerous motors, and 
a specially high pressure water-supply, and lastly, the refrigerator chamber. The arrangement of 
the Laboratories is calculated to give a maximum amount of light, and to facilitate in every way 
economic service. There is little doubt that such a magnificent block as the Thompson Yates 
Buildings will lead to further and fresh developments in the Physiological and Pathological 
departments, and in the study of the Medical Sciences in this part of the country. As regards 
both departments, it is clear that schools in each subject is the ultimate aim. Thus the 
Pathology Schools would include : — i. Teaching and Laboratory accommodation for Human 
Morbid Anatomy. 2. For Bacteriology. 3. For Comparative or Veterinary Pathology. 4. 
For the Pathology of Tropical Diseases. 5. Chemical Pathology.
