Dead animals, when done with, are cremated in the destruc- tor, and the laboratory attendant must be notified when the bodies are ready for cremation. 13. None of the workers in the laboratory are allowed to enter the animal houses unless accompanied by the special attendant in charge, who must scrupulously observe the same directions regarding personal disinfection as the workers in the laboratories. 14. No cultures are to be taken out of the laboratory without the permission of the head of the Department. 15. All accidents, such as spilling infected material, cutting or pricking the fingers, must be at once reported to the bacteri- ologist in charge.
