Mounting and Staining of Bacteria. — The mounting and staining 
of bacteria may be accomplished as follows : 
1. Take the square or round cover slip, which has been previously 
cleaned, out of the alcohol pot. Dry it between filter paper. 
2. Hold it in the bacteriolgic forceps, which is so constructed that 
a spring holds the cover slip firmly while an enlargement of the wire
