A METHOD OP COLLECTING AND STORING InSECTS, ETC., 

 FIXED TO LEAVES, WITHOUT PRESSURE. — Mr. C. B. WiLLIAMS 



showed the following method : — 



A small round shallow pill-box, with or without a glass lid, 

 is taken and the inner cardboard ring separated from the 

 rest of the box. For collecting the lid of the box with this 

 inner ring in it is placed over the specimen on the leaf and 

 the rest of the box beneath. On pressing the two halves of 

 the box together the leaf with the specimen on it is pressed 

 to the bottom of the box, where it is protected and kept in 

 position by the cardboard ring, which is pushed back into its 

 original position.
