[NHCOLL-L:4672] labeling small fluid-preserved specimens

[Ashley Henderson]

Hi Everyone,

We have a small collection of fluid-preserved spiders in small vials. 
Currently, each has a large label inside the vial with full
identification of the specimen and collection information.  The labels
wrap around the entire inside of the vials so the specimens cannot be
viewed without removing them from the vials.  Are labels like this
common in such collections?  If not, what information do you include on
your labels to make them smaller and allow the specimen to be visible? 


Thanks,
