Extract

The use of gelatin as a medium in which to mount and permanently preserve biological specimens is by no means new; it was advocated by Lee at least fifty years ago. It is only within the last ten years, however, that its usefulness as a practical method for preserving entomological material has been realized. Its application to insect work was first suggested by Prof. L. J. Muchmore of the Southwest Museum, Los Angeles. California, to H. C. Lewis, who reported on the subsequent development of the technique in 1929.
