APPARATUS. 
24. Cabinet. The present state of British 
entomology, requires a cabinet af at least one 
hundred glazed and corked drawers. The best 
sized drawers are from fourteen to sixteen 
inches square, and about two inches deep. For 
exotic insects they must be larger and deeper. 
Cabinets arrange best in tiers of about twenty 
drawers each, shut in by a door; or double 
tiers may be made with folding doors : in this 
shape, they are rendered portable, and others 
may be added as the collection increases, cor- 
responding in size and uniformity. 
25. Book Boxes. Some persons arrange 
their collections in book boxes, and place 
them on shelves. Downie’s boxes are parti- 
cularly well made, and although not glazed yet 
the dust is excluded. They may be lettered 
and numbered.
