80 TWENTY-SEVENTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
This will, in most cases, afford space enough for the exhibition 
of the various stages and forms of a species. The specimens - 
may be glued to the sheet in the same manner as flowering 
plants, but leaf specimens are best attached by adhesive 
strips, as they are apt to separate from the glue or else become 
broken by the contraction and expansion of the herbarium 
sheet. Adhesive plaster, used by physicians and surgeons, 
may be cut into narrow strips and’ used for this purpose. 
If, in all cases of fleshy fungi that change color in drying, 
asmany of them do, a colored sketch of the fresh plant could 
be attached to the herbarium sheet, it would add much to 
the value and utility of the collection, but this is only practi- 
cable when the requisite time and skill can be commanded. 
So also, the addition of a magnified sketch of the spores of 
all species is greatly to be desired, but can only be attained 
by the use of a compound microscope with the camera lucida.
