toiiguo of the spider carefully dissected out, forms an interesting prepara- 

 tion. The various parts of the mouth may also be dissected and separately 

 mounted, the skin maybe stained with carmine or logwood, and mounted 

 in Canada balsam, whilst the eyes of many spiders, other than the well- 

 known brilliant eyes of the jumping spiders, may be mounted in balsam, 

 in cells as opaque preparations, with the best results."]

[" Divide a small cork transversely and cut a notch in one cud of one of the 

 pieces. Pass an ordinary stationer's rubber elastic ring over the end of the 

 slide ; put the piece of cork under it, the ruig resting in the notch ; then 

 draw it along until the under side of the ring will rest under the point to 

 which the pressure is to bo applied, tlien lower the cork on the cover. 

 If more pressure is desired a second ring may be placed over the first. 

 Pieces of cork of different lengths give more or less pressure, and those of 

 difff rent diameters apply it over more or less space. The slides can be 

 laid away side by side."]
