336 NATURAL HISTORY OF OUR SHORES 



Moths and mites are not so likely to attack a collection 

 of this kind as one of birds or insects ; but still, they may 

 put in an appearance, the corrosive sublimate employed 

 in preparing the specimens notwithstanding, so it is well 

 to have in the corner of each drawer or box a little card 

 box, with a perforated lid, containing some camphor or 

 napthaline the latter is the best, as it does not so rapidly 

 evaporate and a review of the specimens must be held 

 from time to time.
