[Diagram showing photographic setup with labels: table top, adjustable microscope stage for ease in focusing, mirror, condenser lens, carbon arc light source, lava (on side), wax bed, glass]
Twitty recommends for anesthesia 0.025 part
solution of "M.S. 222". Kept as stock
solution at strength of 0.05 parts. Made
and diluted with tap water. "MS 222"
purchased in 100 gm lots from Sandoz
Chemical Works, Inc., 61 Van Dam St.,
New York City. Larvae immersed but adults
must be injected. Adults work as well
with ether-water mixture.
Saw animals Twitty calls granulose
collected near Stanford, light in color
like lighter colored of torosus from Berkeley.
Not distinguishable from torosus from
same collection site to my eyes. Torosus
from Mt. Hamilton appear different
from Berkeley ones, more reddish.
Twitty thinks & vent shape best granulose
character.
