PRESERVING 195 



LESSON 18 



Getting the Equipment Ready 

 This lesson consists entirely of a: 



WORK PROGRAM 

 I. Making things for personal use. 



1. Prepare several dozen triangular envelopes to receive 

 insects when collected (see page 180). 



2. Prepare several dozen mounting points (see page 186). 

 Cut these from strips of thick white paper 3/8" wide; each 

 snip of the shears cuts one point off the end of the strip. 



3. Prepare a few pin-points mounted erect in pith blocks 

 ready to receive mosquito specimens (see page 186). i 



4. Prepare several dozen slide labels (if printed ones are 

 not furnished) by cutting 15/16" squares of white gummed 

 paper. 



5. Prepare record sheets on paper to fit your note book 

 by copying on it the outlines on pages 203 and 204. 



II. Making things for common use. 



1. A number of beating nets (see figures on page 178 and 

 196 as to plan). 



(a) Prepare the wooden handles, first boring the holes in 

 the ends; then cutting the grooves in the sides; then 

 sandpapering them. 



(b) Prepare the wire rims by cutting heavy wire into 

 lengths of 39", and bending each into a circle and 

 smoothing the cut ends.
