No. II. For the corresponding tissue of coldblooded animals.

No. III. For cells, pus, infusoria, spores.

No. IV. Is to be substituted for No. I in all cases where the blood globules, which are so easily destroyed by chloride of sodium, are to be preserved intact.

No. v is sometimes preferable to No. III, the acetic acid rendering the nuclei more distinct.

No. VI is to be used for all fibrous tissues, muscles and nerves.

No. vii, for glands; and

No. VIII, for cartilages. - Professor Pacini.
