rORMING COLLECTIONS. 23 



Wasps and other stinging insects slioukl be captured 

 with a net, and from thence transferred to tlie killing 

 bottle. 



Minute beetles, &c., can be gummed on to small pieces 

 of card, the locality, date of capture, &c,, added on a label 

 attached to the pin. 



In forwarding specimens for identification and report, 

 great care should be taken in packing for post, and tin 

 boxes should always be used for the purpose. The 

 address should be written on a label, and not on the box ; 

 this lessens the chances of damage whilst passing through 

 the Post Office.
