another method must be found. Many use triangular 

 slips of thin, smooth cardboard (Fig. 5), and as soon as 

 a wing has been carefully drawn into position with the 

 setting-needle, one is pinned down over :the margin to 

 keep that wing in place till the others are arranged in 

 the same way. A very good method, which is illus- 

 trated in Fig. 6, is to have some square pieces of cork 

 with a shoemaker's bristle thrust through each somewhat 

 obliquely. The cork is fastened to the setting-board 

 with a pin, and the bristle will then be found to

exercise considerable pressure on the board, and will 

 hold the wings in the same manner as the cardboard 

 slips. It has this advantage that it does not hide the 

 wings or interfere with the braces that are to come 

 afterwards. It is extremely important to be able to 

 see all the wings well at once to ensure their being 

 arranged symmetrically. 



Others use a piece of quill for the same purpose and 

 in the same way, the quill of course having the curved 

 surface on the butterfly.
