Extract

The prevailing method of preparing glycerine mounts of nematodes consists essentially of transferring the specimens from the fixative to 1.5-2.0 per cent glycerine in water and then allowing the water to evaporate very slowly until the nematodes are in pure glycerine. By this method evaporation is completed in not less than four weeks as any attempt to hurry this process will distort the specimens. A desiccator is used to complete the removal of the water from the glycerine.
