 „ „ Glycerine Mounting. 



[" One great difficulty in its use is in fastening the cover-glass firmly. 

 Various modes of procedure have been described, possibly the best the 

 writer has seen in print being that which employs paraffin. A still 

 better method is to use a very small amount of glycerine, so little in fact 

 that when the cover is applied the margin of the glycerine does not reach 

 the edge of the glass. Then with a fine brush, balsam or dammar dis- 

 solved in benzol is allowed to run in under the edge of the cover- 

 glass, and after becoming hard the superfluous balsam is cleaned oflf 

 and the slide finished in any desired manner."]
