BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



Variously constructed nets are used, according to 

 fancy, but the choice may lie "between two chief forms ■ 

 the Clap-net and the Ring-net 



The former certainly gives more power in a fail 

 chase, but the latter has the advantage of being the 



articles I have myself purchased or examined at the ahove establishment. 

 Cane ring-nets, with stick, and ready for use, 2s. ; ring-net, with three- 

 jointed metal ring and screw-socket, 4*. 6d. ; pocket collecting-boxes, corked. 

 3d to Is. each; store-boxes, 10 in. by 8 in., corked top and bottom, 2s. 6d.; 

 drying houses, for securely keeping setting-boards when in use, and con- 

 taining eleven corked setting-boards and drawer for pins, &c, 10s. 64. ; 

 sheet cork for lining cabinets, 7 in. by 3£ in., 1*. 6d. doz. sheets ; entomologi- 

 cal pins, three sizes, mixed, Is. oz., &c, &c.
