1 chemical thermometer graduated to 100 deg. C.
15 agate ware or tin trays about 350 mm. long by 100 wide.
1 gal. 95 per cent alcohol. (Do not use denatured alcohol.)
1 set gram weights, 1 mg. to 100 g.
1 razor, for cutting sections.
1 box rubber bands, assorted sizes.
1 support stand with rings.
2 books test paper, red and blue.
10 Syracuse watch glasses.
1 steam sterilizer (tin will do).
1 spool fine copper wire.
1 test tube rack.
5 test tube brushes.
10 pairs scissors.
10 pairs forceps.
20 needles in handles.
10 scalpels.
12 mason jars, pints.
12 mason jars, quarts.
1 alcohol lamp.
1 gross slides.
100 cover slips No. 2.
1 mortar and pestle.
2 bulb pipettes.
1 liter formol.
1 oz. iodine cryst.
1 oz. potassium iodide.
6 oz. nitric acid.
6 oz. ammonium hydrate.
6 oz. benzole or xylol.

The materials for Pasteur's solution and Sach's nutrient solution can best
be obtained from a druggist at the time needed and in very small and
accurately measured quantities.
The agar or gelatine cultures in Petri dishes may be obtained from the
local Board of Health or from any good druggist. These cultures are not
difficult to make, but take a number of hours' consecutive work, often
difficult for the average teacher to obtain. Full directions how to prepare
these cultures will be found in Hunter's _Laboratory Problems in Civic
Biology_.
