Abstract
A BRANCHED pipette similar to that described by Swallow1 has been in use in my laboratory here since 1939. This was designed by me to expedite measurement of small quantities of liquid for rapid soil analysis, and a number were made by a London firm of glassblowers. In this pattern, the branches are Y-shaped and approximately symmetrical. Besides the advantage of rapid measurement, they are easily cleaned by directing a jet of water through the opening A and are also convenient to hang up in a hook or through a hole in a shelf.
