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 fair 

 chase, but the latter has the advantage of being the 



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

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

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

 3d. to Is. each ; store-boxes, 14 in. by 10 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. 6d. ; 

 sheet cork, for lining cabinets, 7 in. by 3 in. Is. doz. sheets ; entomological 

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