FOR THE COLLECTOR. 



Flies are caught in a common butterfly net made of mosquito netting; a slight pressure between the fingers 

 .Us them. A pin run through the- chest pait makes them readv for the cabinet. The larger ones may be 

 retched like butterflies. The craneflies require delicate handling or their legs will come off. Small flies may 

 : gummed on a piece of card, and this pinned in the cabinet, though I prefer to dry them between white paper 

 ith a slight pressure as in a book. Afterwards arrange and name them on a sheet of heavy white paper and 

 en lay a plate of glass of the same si/e over it and paste it secure! v around the edges. 



The drawings in this book are mostly life-size, the small kinds being drawn double life-size.
