for use. The Biological Testing Core Facility is fully operational at present. We have acquired the necessary filtration apparatus, testing equipment for tadpoles and equipment for membrane preparations. The Research Unit shared facilities will be freely available for use, including centrifuges (low-, intermediate- and high-speed), cold room, gamma and scintillation counters and freezers. 2.F.
