 tissues may thus be spared the passage through absolute alcohol and 

 oil. This curtailment of the tedinic is also a saving of expense. 

 Euparal has, moreo\er, a lower index of red-act ion than balsam or 

 gum damar, and is thus more favorable for the demonstration of cyto- 

 logic details (see Lee, "Vade Meciim,'' Sth ed., p. '.'IT).
