>Dear listserv,
>I am interested in knowing if anyone has recently bought hydrometers with this description:
>Hydrometer, 5" long, 60-90% Ethanol @ 70 degree F in 1 degree Divisions, approximately $39 each.
>
>3 years ago, we purchased a dozen of these hydrometers for use in our alcohol collection in the Division of Fishes at the Smithsonian Institution.  We have been unable to locate the same hydrometers.  We purchased these from Thermo Instruments, Inc. from Yaphank, NY and they are no longer in business and/or were bought up by FisherSci.  FisherSci has hydrometers but not 5" in size.  Carolina Biological does not have the 5" size either.
>
>Does anyone use this 5" size hydrometer and if so, have you had recent luck in locating a vendor?  Thank you!

>Hi Adelaide,

>Not sure if anyone has responded to you off list yet.

>If you have any close up photos of the insects themselves that would be very helpful in identifying your pests. I would also recommend looking at the resources over at http://www.museumpests.net/ There are fact sheets there about different pests. The pestlist is also a good place to ask for help identifying your pests by the insects as well as damage.

>Hello all,
>
>I'm looking for some advice on dealing with new museum infestations. Conservator and I have found new infestation in storage cabinets and stuffed bird collections and we have tried to identify these pests and thought might be kind of furniture beetles- but not so sure. I have attached few photos to be able to identify types of pests and areas that have been infested. Our  museum is involved in the fumigation museum environment,unfortunately new infestation appear with a rapid attack.
>
>I'd be very interested to hear from anyone with experience of telling what type of pests and measures to take both preventive and curative to overcome a problem.

>I have no knowledge of them being used for collections, however we have some that are used for files.  Make sure you estimate the total weight and be sure your floor loading will take that much weight.  Otherwise, the equipment will get out of alignment and jam and you could of course cause structural problems to your building.
