 Jackson, E. E. — How to Mount Casts. 



[After allowing urine to settle, pour off and wash sediment repeatedly with 

 clean water, the object being to get rid of the albumen. The white 

 sediment consists of casts and epithelia. Have ready a solution of eosin, 

 5 grs. to 1 oz. (water 3, alcohol 1), pour it on sediment, allow to stand 30 

 minutes, then wash repeatedly as long as colour comes freely. Allow to 

 settle, place a drop on cover, when dry enough to adhere, rinse off with 

 alcohol to get rid of water ; dry. Wet with spirits of turpentine and mount 

 as usual in balsam.]

 „ „ Mounting Desmids. 



[A dip was put in a cell, the water absorbed by blotting-paper, then a drop 

 of mixture of carbolated mucilage of gum arable and solution of boras 

 ■was put on the desmids and they were covered and ringed. It remains to 

 be seen whether the medium has bleaching or shrinking properties.]
