Sea Stars, after washing in fresh water, may be extended on boards by means of pins, and when dry, laid between folds of paper, packed in a box with a little camphor. In Echini or Sea Eggs, the soft internal parts are to be extracted by the anus: they are then to be stuffed with cotton, and carefully packed with tow or cotton. Particular attention should be paid to the preserving of the spines.
