  13 Because the information is not readily and compactly available and because of the many and bitter complaints by specialists against the condition of labeling of specimens brought in by many expeditions, we have devoted a separate note, page 272, to a description of some methods of killing and preserving marine anim
als. These are the results of many trials and errors by ourselves and others. Some of the methods given are far from perfect, but they are the best we know.
