microscopes,  balances,  autoclave,  centrifuge,  etc.,  and  a  water  tank 
fitted  with  a  suitable  pump  is  erected  on  the  roof  of  the  car. 
In  addition  to  the  apparatus  named,  the  equipment  includes 
hot  chambers,  Pasteur  oven,  microtome,  ice  chest  for  water  samples, 
a  complete  electric  lighting  outfit  and  arrangement  for  animal  cages. 
The  arrangement  for  the  numerous  accessories  has  been  ingeniously 
worked  out  so  that  everything  is  grouped  and  readily  accessible. 
The  annex  and  the  complete  bacteriological  outfit  are  so  ar- 
ranged that  they  can  be  readily  assembled  and  securely  packed  on 
the  accompanying  three-ton  chassis.  The  entire  outfit  can  be  as- 
sembled and  packed  for  transport  in  about  two  hours.
