Q The mex, operation is to give the plate

suspending il over dish with iodine divided

from five minutes 10 half an hour. When this
process is satisfactorily accomplished, the plate
should be Immediately fixed in a frame with
caches and bands, and placed in tho camera

the name of Heh0graphy, or Uriting By the

the Greek, and are expressive, in some degree
of The nature of The process. The term Da
