Abstract
THE increasing popularity of the inverted bottle and drinking spout for watering small laboratory animals has brought to light potential drawbacks: it is well, therefore, to consider the physical (including the mechanical) principles governing this simple system, in order that these drawbacks may be overcome. No attempt is made to describe practical devices, of which there is a great number: a comprehensive account of these is being prepared for publication elsewhere.
