Abstract: A wide variety of creatures are used for experimental purposes, and it is essential that the anaesthetic technique employed is suitable for the proposed procedure and causes minimal mortality and stress. Although the technique may have no intrinsic interest for the investigator who wants a cheap, safe, simple system that requires little attention once the experiment is in progress, nevertheless a knowledge of practical principles of anaesthesia is necessary. Thus the proper use of equipment is ensured, initial animal mortality reduced, and the investigator better able to determine any significance the anaesthesia may have for the experimental design. It is proposed here to indicate some of these principles and sources of relevant information.
