APEIL 



This is really a busy month with the entomologist, and it will 

 be necessary to put all apparatus and appliances into perfect order 

 early. The cyanide bottle should be freshly charged, nets examined 

 and repaired if necessary, and all setting boards, breeding cages 

 &c. put in perfect trim for the new season's work. 



Larvae are now feeding freely, and a few hours spent in beating, 

 swee.oing, and searching will enable you to stock 3'our cages 

 liberally. 



Sugaring inay be continued throughout the month, and the 

 sallow blossom may be searched as long as it proves attractive. 

 Motlis may also be attracted by light at night.
