D., E. T. — Graphic Microscopy. 



XIV. Toe of Mouse, injected. 



[Contains an addendum to No. 1.3 as to a medium for preserving ffydrachnce 

 without sacrifice of their shapeliness. Distilled water (with a trace of 

 carbolic acid), 8 jiarts ; pure glycerine, 1 part. The characteristic 

 plumpness remains intact, and the ocelli, palpi, &c., are so well preserved 

 and displayed as to bear scrutiny under the highest powers.] 



XV. Polysiphonia clongata. 



[Contains the following : — '• A very simple and useful addition to the 

 ' material ' of a microscopist are pieces of ordinary glass (not too thick), 

 i^h in. square ; between such plates, specimens capable of being dried and 

 flattened without injury, as portions of fronds of ferns, zoophytes, wings and 

 parts of insects, seaweeds, and many various objects, may be temporarily 

 stored, and thus protected from dust or fracture. The glasses are held 

 together by strips of gummed paper bordering the edges ; the advantage 

 being they can be examined on the stage of the Microscope when it is 

 desired to select any part for a permanent mount."]
