THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA. 107 



nine-tenths of my captures are made with the fingers; when 

 unlucky enough to be stung, I find the best cure is made by 

 wettino- the spot and rubbing it well with a little salt; if the 

 wound is on the hand, no better way can be adopted than 

 that of well sucking the part, the pain will soon be over.
