ing from four to six specimens. All the sheets are then placed 

 within the previously prepared sheet of cartridge paper. The 

 specimens are thus kept in small compass, and from being 

 secured by pins they do not slip about or rub against each 

 other, which would be the destruction of many delicate species, 

 and the first leaf of each sheet, which covers them, forms a 

 further protection against friction. From being fixed on con- 

 venient slips of paper, which are readily removed, they can be 

 examined more easily than if each were glued to a distinct leaf, 

 as is the custom in other parts of the Herbarium. The larger 

 specimens are kept in drawers, a ticket being pinned at the 

 proper place notifying that such is the case.
