To the Editor: From a polythene bottle, which should be available in any laboratory, one can make a simple, functional, and cheap Gutzeit apparatus (Figure 1). A polythene bottle with a screw-cap (1) is cut just below the neck and fastened onto a glass tube (3) about 15-cm long. The cap is pierced with a cork-borer. WIth two cork-borers of different diameters we punch polythene rings (2). Between these rings we place a round filter paper.

The whole is screwed tight and the process is started (Stewart and Stolman, Toxicology II. Academic Press, San Francisco, 1961, p 648). The arsenic distributes uniformly as As(HgBr)3 and As2Hg3 on a circular surface, so that a quick and fairly accurate determination is possible.
