Pins — The insect pins are made longer and thinner than ordinary pins. 



Pins, pinning forceps, Fig. 6, printed labels, insect boxes and cabinets, 

 sheet cork or peat, or other entomological supplies may be had of dealers 

 in this material. A jappanned steel pin is now on the market which is 

 much superior to any pins heretofore made in that smaller pins may be 

 used and still have greater stiffness and strength. For cabinets such 

 pins are much more desirable, but at the same time are more expensive 

 than ordinary pins.
