surface of a specially prepared roll of paper. Hence he calls it the 
“ Schnitt-Aufklebe ” microtome. 
In the microtome proper there does not appear to be anything new, 
as it merely consists of the usual arrangements; that is, there is an 
object-holder raised by the micrometer-screw, and a knife-holder running 
on a heavy block in a Y-shaped slide-way. The novel details consist 
in the apparatus for receiving the sections as they are cut off, and the
