the band through the sHt. The ends may then be

The specimen having been duly mounted, its botan- 

 ical name should be written neatly in the lower right- 

 hand corner, togetlier with the date of its collection, 

 and the locality where 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 draw- 

 ers, can be specially devoted to storing the plants, so 

 much the better.
