Abstract
THIS small book evidently incorporates the results of practical experience, and is eminently one for the amateur and lone worker. A summary is given of methods for the preparation and mounting of a number of objects for microscopy—insects and their parts, diatoms, Foraminifera and Radiolaria, crystals, rock and metal sections, blood and bacteria, and animal and vegetable tissues, together with a full account of section cutting. A few pages on ciliates, flagellates and rotifers would have been a useful addition.
