There is not much apparatus; - a hot-water bath (incubator), and some minor apparatus.
There is a small chemical laboratory with hood.
There is a long narrow laboratory for microscopic work chiefly.
Nearby are the library and reading room, - both fair, - and in charge of an Assistant who has other work to do.
On the lower floor there is a large general lecture room, with DeBary's bust. The Assistant had to get up to where he could read the name before he could tell what ^[[insertion]] (or who) [[/insertion]] it is.
Adjoining is a room for the demonstration collections. It contains materials in alcohol and formalin, dry fruits, etc.

This is quite large, larger than usually.
There is also a small demonstration herbarium for lectures.
There is a small lecture room with benches and desk-tables.
Dr. Jost has two large laboratory rooms for his own use.
The basement has a "constant temperature" room, but the temperature is regulated by a stove and common thermometer! It is not automatic.
The room has double walls, with an air space between them.
On the whole the department is not well-equipped. It may be that Dr. Jost himself has accurate apparatus in his private laboratories (I did not seem them) but certainly little of it appears in the student's laboratories.
