Excerpt from Contributions to an Insect Fauna of the Amazon Valley: Coleoptera-Staphylinidae The peimanent preservation Of valuable and fragile specimens and the associating Of them in an inalienable manner with the name given to them, is, however, no easy task. But, in order to accomplish it in the case of the fragile insects here described, I have devised a method Of covering and hermetically sealing the type Specimens, which will, I believe, accomplish their complete protection from all destroying agencies except fire and rude physical catastrophes. Nearly all the smaller species here de scribed, as well as a considerable preportion of the larger species, I have preserved by this method; and, rendered bold by the valuable results it promises, I have ventured to describe even minute species where I had but a single example of it from which to draw up my description. I have taken some steps to test the efficacy Of this mode of preservation, and hope soon to be able to publish a description of the method.
