THE HERBARIUM. 215 



The specimen having been duly mounted, its botanical 

 name should be written neatly in the lower right-hand 

 corner, together with the date of its collection and the 

 locality were found. Of course only one Species should 

 be mounted on each sheet ; and when a sufficient number 

 have been prepared, the Species of the same Genus should 

 be placed in a sheet of larger and coarser paper than 

 that on which the specimens are mounted, and the name 

 of the Genus should be written outside on the lower 

 corner. Then the Genera of the same Order should be 

 collected in the same manner, and the name of the Order 

 written outside as before. The Orders may then be 

 arranged in accordance with the classification you may 

 be using, and carefully laid away in a dry place. If a 

 cabinet, with shelves or drawers, can be specially devoted 

 to storing the plants, so much the better.
