[As to the cracking of the covers of MoUer's slides ; also as to bubbles, and 

 note by R. Hitchcock. " Bubbles are occasionally left in fluid mounts, 

 especially when the cells are deep, under the impression that the air 

 they contain being very elastic prevents injury to the cell from internal 

 pressure when the temperature rises. We confess to grave doubts if such 

 bubbles are of any benefit whatever."]
