[Nhcoll-l] Inquiry about polycarbonate pails and glass pickle jars for fluid-preserved specimens

Thu Mar 12 15:18:00 EDT 2015

Thanks, Sarah!

This is just what Laura and many of us need to know for these 132-400 lids.

A few years ago (2011) Rob Robins at the Univ of Florida/Florida MNH got 
some collections together to purchase a large number of these 
lids/liners.  I purchased some at that time, but might need more in the 
future.

Cheers,
H.J.
