<p class="MsoNormal">Much the same here: we use thermal label with type status written out but our slight variation is using red electrical tape wrapped around the neck of the jar instead of cloth ribbon. It’s easy to apply, very durable, never slips, and can
be written on with permanent marker if desired. Even repeated incidental alcohol exposure doesn’t seem to bother the tape. We simply use red for all types, rather than keep a blue roll for paratypes.<o:p></o:p></p>

Plus these symbols tend to vary among institutions. Whereas there is nothing ambiguous about “holotype.”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please, conservators and curators who have type specimens in your wet collections. How do you label them? A red label inside etanol solution is not a good idea, but types must to be marked in some way. Is it wright to use a regular fluid
-white- label and write “type” beside the specimen’s name? Maybe also draw a red square in the outside surface of the glass?
