MOUNTING OF MICROSCOPIC OBJECTS. 25 



In the next paper, therefore, I propose to treat of Dry Mounts, many 

 of the preliminary processes of which are identical with those re- 

 quired for fluids, and which will serve to lead up to the latter. A 

 worker who can make his balsam mounts, neatly and without fail- 

 ures, and consequently without saying or thinking naughty words, 

 has certainly passed over the roughest portion of his journey, and 

 may look with confidence for a continuously easier road, no matter 

 in how many different directions it may lead him.
