(3) The specimens are safer from mites, dust, &c. ; 



(4) There is room under each specimen for a ticket, 



recording locality and date of capture, which 

 should never be omitted. 



It is quite unnecessary to use the continental pins, 

 as the finer ones are inconveniently flexible, and they 

 are too long for English cabinet drawers. 



This method is being adopted at the British Museum 

 of Natural History and by many of the leading 

 English entomologists. The enormous advantages of 

 this method of setting over any other are so obvious 

 that its general adoption in this country is only a 

 matter of time. 



Setting-boards can be obtained at a very reasonable price 

 from Mr. Crockett.
