	“...Then, further, Flower held that every specimen placed in the public or show-collection should be there in order to demonstrate to the visitor some definite fact or facts, and so should be most fully visible, isolated rather than obscured by neighboring specimens, and ticketed with an easily read label stating clearly and simply the reason why it is worth looking at - that is to say, what are its points of interest...” 3
