 [Hitchcock, R.] — [Shellac Cement.] 



[Defence of .shellac cement, which is " the only cement that has come into 



our hands (and we have tried many) (hat never fails." 

 " There is another reason why we have 60 persistently urged its use in 

 these columns, until we doubt not many of our readers are tired of it, and 

 are inclined to regard us as a crank on the subject. The reason is that 

 so many of the best observers and students do not mount specimens for 

 preservation because they have not the time to spare. There is just 

 reason for this if the ordinary methods of mounting in fluids are followed, 

 while Canada balsam is not the proper medium. But by using shellac, 

 a permanent mount, dry, in water, or in glycerin, can be made on a 

 plain slide in five minutes, and it will keep perfect for years."]
