ENTOMOLOGY. 711 



The most notable of the snggestioiis are: (1) The use of small labels 

 bearing- map sketches printed in pale iuk so that the locality where 

 the insect is obtained may be indicated by a small dot. When the box 

 is full of such labels an idea of the geographical range of the insect 

 maybe obtained at a glance. (2) Instead of the usual label the use of 

 thin pieces of tissue paper upon which the number is written and the 

 pa|>er mounted under the glass with the object. In the case of balsam 

 the paper becomes transparent, leaving the number clear and distinct. 



The forms of the labels, which are of two sizes, are illustrated.
