    the stockyards in ]\Iiiller's fluid and formalin, the crowns broken ofl' at the level of the gum so as to expose the pulp chamber, and the jaws sawed through so as to leave two teeth in each block, after which they are replaced in Miiller's fluid and formalin for two days, decalcified in nitric acid, and thoroughly washed. They may now be cut into small blocks for transverse sections and embedded in celloidin. Embryological Material.—For the study of the tooth germ in class work embryo pigs of all ages are easily obtained. The entire embryo should be at once placed in Miiller's fluid or a saturated solution of picric acid and water. In ^Miiller's fluid they should remain a week; in picric acid, forty-eight hours. After fixing, the heads are cut ofi, thor- oughly washed, carried through the grades of alcohol, and embedded in paraffin.
