PRESERVING OF COLEOPTERA. 109 
* 
I am ready to submit the result, as evinced by the state of 
my collection, to the consideration of anybody who will take 
the trouble of inspecting it. 
Such are a few general hints on the collecting and pre¬ 
serving of Coleoptera , compiled exclusively for the use of 
the beginner. Had spac been unlimited, they might have 
been multiplied tenfold : but it is hoped that even these, 
sucl! as they are, will not be found altogether worthless.
