Beetles should be killed in a wide-mouthed bottle containing cyanide 

 of potassium or freshly bruised laurel-leaves. When dead they should be 

 transmitted from time to time by the first opportunity, amongst chopped- 

 up laurel-leaves, or, if these cannot be obtained, some other green leaves 

 olf shrubs. They should never be packed amongst cotton or wool, as their 

 claws become entangled with the fine fibres.
