[NHCOLL-L:1346] Large glass bottles

[Gordon Hendler]

	(1) Can anyone suggest sources for half-gallon and one-gallon (or larger)
glass, screw-top bottles, with 120 mm diameter (or larger) openings?
	The distributors whom we have recently contacted (e.g. Kohls, General
Bottle Supply, etc.) carry gallon bottles with a 110 mm opening, but have
all discontinued glass bottles with 120 mm openings and no longer stock
half-gallon bottles.
	(2) We are looking for transparent, evaporation-resistant storage
containers for "oversize" specimens that are preserved in alcohol. Has
anyone found alternatives to opaque plastic buckets and metal tanks for
that purpose?
	Thank you for any help with this query.
