Mr. J. B. Smith prepares his duplicate 

 coleoptera in the following manner: — Thev 

 are soaked for a week or more in a fluid com- 

 posed of ICO grams of alum. 25 of salt, 12 of 

 saltpeter, 60 of potash and 10 of white 

 arsenic dissolved in 3<xx) grams of boiling 

 water. The solution is filtered and when 

 cold add to every ten parts four of glycerin 

 and one of methyl alcohol. Insects prepared 

 in this manner remain soft and flexible and 

 can be sent in boxes w-ithout being pinned 

 and without danger of breaking. The same 

 method could be applied to hemiptera and 

 orthoptera, but probably it would not be 

 successful with diptera, hynienoptera. lepi- 

 doptera, or neuroptera. — Science record.
