 Bennett, E. A. E. — Mounting legs, &c., of Insects. 



[Contains the following : — " The chief difficulty is the appearance of air- 

 bubbles in the object after it has been mounted. To avoid this, there is 

 a little dodge not mentioned in most books. When the leg is taken out 

 of the turpentine, instead of placing it at once on the slide, boil it for a few 

 moments in some balsam, kept for the purpose in another tube. While it 

 is being boiled the air will escape, and the balsam will take its place. 

 There will, therefore, be not nearly so much chance of air-bubbles arising 

 when the object is mounted. Of course, this would be rather rough 

 treatment for some objects ; but with the legs of insects (especially such 

 as Dytiscus marginalis) it generally answers admirably, and saves a vast 

 deal of trouble."]

 have to be forced in with some pressure.]
