TIMES, PLACES, AND SEASONS FOR COLLECTING. 271 



But to return to our Collecting: it will be 

 found, I think, advantageous in the first season to 

 confine our care to a very small circle of subjects, 

 and in general it will he more convenient, and 

 perhaps even more interesting, at all events on the 

 score of beauty, to confine the inmates of the 

 Vivarium to the larvae and chrysalides of Butterflies 

 and Moths, with the addition of a few larvae of 

 Dragon-flies in the water, and not, of course, for- 

 getting our friends the Lady-birds.
