Research Division of the Laboratory, St. Peter's General Hospital, New Brunswick, New Jersey The operating board described below has been in use for rabbits in our labo­ ratories for several years and has proved easier to handle and more adaptable tha n commercially available operating boards. The board consists of a 3 by 3-inch (3 squares to 1 inch) # 16-gauge wire mesh screen, large enough to hold one or more animals comfortably (e.g., 20 by 35 inches) and supported by a wooden or angle-iron frame of at least 1-inch height.
