With these three aids the expenditure of our funds is bound to result in much larger returns than would be possible otherwise. The work of the Station is going on in all of the technical and scientific laboratories of the University. As an indication of the character of the investigations which are now possible a list of several important pieces of apparatus and installations is given. In connection with this article there are also given several reproductions showing the laboratories in which the investigations are in progress and also the most important apparatus.
