[NHCOLL-L:809] shipping specimen in Bouin's preservative

[Jessica Rosales]

Hi,

Does any one have suggestions for shipping a small catfish that is 
preserved in Bouin's?  Since Bouin's has picric acid in it, I am hesitant 
to do the usual wrapping of the specimen in damp cheesecloth.  I was 
thinking of shipping the fish in the jar itself.  Any thoughts?

Thank you,

-Jess
