This apparatus was obtained for the Museum and arranged 
by Dr Joseph Jastrow, Professor of Psychology in the University 
of Wisconsin. 
There are also in the same room, apparatus for illustrating 
the law governing the distribution of individuals in a binominal 
curve, and for the drawing of the outlines of the various parts of 
the skeleton. 
In the smaller room adjoining are apparatus for taking the 
measurements of the body. Among the instruments here used 
are an adjustable table for measuring the stature, and a chain con- 
structed on a similar principle to study the variations in the length 
of the trunk, at different angles of incline to the perpendicular. 
A notice hung in the middle panel, on the outside of the labora- 
tory wall, will indicate the hours during which the laboratory will 
be open. 
On the south gallery are situated cases containing the collec- 
tions of crania, skeletons, etc.
