[Nhcoll-l] Exploding glass vials

[Sam Sweet]

Glass shell vials are cheaper and come in a wide range of sizes.  We 
store larvae (formalin) and small salamanders (ethanol) in vials with a 
tuft of cotton inserted, stored in 32 oz or bottles filled with fluid.  
This eliminates much risk of individual vials drying out, and should 
solve breakage problems.
