THE INSECT HUNTER’S COMPANION. 
By the Rev. Joseph Greene, M. A. 
A seconb large Edition of the 1 Insect Hunters ’ is now rapidly selling, 
and, from the number of letters I receive, I am ready to conclude that every 
purchaser writes to ask me some questions about catching, or killing, or pre- 
serving insects, or whether there is not some work describing the various pro- 
cesses. Ihe following questions have been asked me times out of number : — 
TV here to find moths and butterflies ; how to catch them ; how to bring them 
home without injury ; how to kill them; how to set them; how to find the 
catei pillars; how to manage them ; how to feed them; how to breed the per. 
feet insect ; where to find chrysalises ; what to do with them ; how to keep 
mites and mould out of cabiuets; how to cure grease; how to relax insects 
when they have become stiff; how to arrange them in cabinets; what w r ood 
to use for cabinets ; and a hundred . similar questions. Replying to these 
questions has taken up more time than I can possibly afford, and there has 
hitherto been no cheap handy-book that will at all meet the case. To supply 
this want Mr. Greene, has written this little book with the desire to impart to 
the juvenile student the knowledge and the experience lie has been so many 
years assiduously and patiently acquiring. He incurs no risk by the publica- 
tion : he receives no gratuity for copyright, no recompense whatever for 
his labour :with him it is truly a labour of love. — Edward Newman,
