THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCEB. 
in order that the superfluous moisture 
may be absorbed, transfer it to the 
setting-board, and cover it thickly with 
pipe-clay scraped to powder or with 
magnesia. In a day or two the powder 
may be blown off, and any adhering 
particles removed with a camel-hair 
pencil, and the insect will be as fresh- 
looking as at first. 
As is well-known, the grease deve- 
loped in insects, corrodes the pins with 
/ 
which they are pierced. This oxyda- 
tion is arrested, but not prevented, by 
gilding the pins; a better method is 
to varnish the pins, but the black 
colour of the varnish is objected to by 
many persons. In Germany they use 
a coating of gum-arabic on the pins; 
thrusting an ordinary pin further than 
usual through the insect, they place 
some gum on the pin immediately 
below the body, and the pin is then 
drawn back to its proper position, car- 
rying with it a covering of gum. 
By such means and constant atten- 
tion grease may be prevented or cured, 
and we hope to hear no more of un- 
sightly grease-spots in cabinets.
