35                  Appendix C—(Contd.)

13.  After locking the door of the box, a piece of tape should be
passed across the key-hole and sealed in position. Depressions in the
wood near the key-hole are provided for the seal impressions. The
special seal provided for the purpose should be used. To prevent the seal
from sticking in the wax and to ensure a clear impression, it should, before
use, be dusted over with powdered French chalk (Salem Kharia).

14.  The address label (Chemical Examiner's form No. 7) should be
pasted (not gummed) to the door of the box in such a position as to cover
the key-hole. On this label the number and date of the letter advising
despatch should always be inserted to prevent mistakes in identification.

15.  A label (Chemical Examiner's form No. 6) will be pasted on to
each bottle before issue from the Chemical Examiner's office. When the
bottle is brought into use, this label must be filled up by the Veterinary
Assistant. The label is intended to be attached to each bottle or other
article sent to the Chemical Examiner. It should not be attached to the
outside of any box or parcel, neither should it be sent in an envelope. In
cases where there is no accused the words " case No.—-—" and the portion
beginning with " King Emperor versus " and ending " Indian Penal Code "
may be cut out. The number that is etched into the glass of the bottle
should be copied on to the label.

16.  The stopper should be securely tied in position by tape or string,
or a piece of leather or bladder should be stretched over it and tied securely
in position.

17.   If under any circumstances it happens that the spirit supplied
by the Chemical Examiner has become unfit for further use, a fresh supply
of spirit may be obtained locally. In all cases a sample of the spirit
used must be sent to the Chemical Examiner in a small bottle properly
sealed and labelled. Should the spirit contain any sediment, care should
be taken that some of this is sent in the sample bottle of spirit.

18.   The quantity of spirit used should be equal to that of the viscera
in bulk and should cover the material in all positions in the bottle. The
viscera and spirit together should not fill the bottle, but only reach to two-
thirds of its height, in order to diminish the risk of the bottle bursting in
case any gas is given off.

19.  Spirit that has been denaturalized by the addition of Caoutchou-
cine should not be used for preserving viscera.

20.  The pieces of viscera sent should be slashed or cut into small
pieces to ensure penetration of the spirit. The stomach should be cut
open with a similar object.

21. Before despatch each bottle should be put into the card-board
case in which it was received from the Chemical Examiner. It should be
noted that the number stencilled on the card-board case is the same as
that of the bottle.
