When you pack a number, be sure to piece all of the material that 
represents it in a double folder with the number in the lower 
left hand oomer. If you simply us a single 'sheets throughout your 
piles it is some timers difficult to avoid pusslinr mixtures. It 
is customary to use .• folder or double cheat of newspaper stock

place each specimen on. a single sheet and place the lot in a fol¬
