He reported his success in tracing out the life-history of the insect to the Royal Microscopical Society, expressing a wish to exhibit a complete set of slides. One would imagine that a similar series of slides to those offered would have been the set he was referring to.The slides are rare individually, indeed the adult Hessian Fly was one of Enock's most expensive preparations (the 7/6 price label is still on the reverse side, nearly four times the price of a standard whole insect), but this will probably be a unique chance to purchase such an important and definitive series of Enock mounts.$12 post Payment Back to Top I accept the following forms of payment: ProPay PayPal Money Order Personal Check Album Album Album FREE scheduling, supersized images and templates.
