Abstract
AN example of a very useful and expeditious method of mounting herbarium specimens adopted here is inclosed as worthy of attention. Short strips of lead, used in packing tea, are passed through slits in the paper on each side of the part of the plant to be fastened, and the ends then bent flat out on the back of the sheet. The many advantages of using this, or some other pliable metal, in certain cases, are very obvious. Has this method been hitherto suggested?
