Box for Collecting Living Insects 
The rectangular compartment of the box may be subdivided by the use 
of tin plates, cut to the suitable shape shown in Fig. V. These plates are in¬ 
serted diagonally, either singly (Fig. Ill, A) or cross-wise in pairs (Fig. Ill, B). 
Such small compartments serve for the reception of small spiders, myriapods, 
ticks, etc. The broad incision in the upper edge of each of the diagonal division 
plates should be cut to fit closely to the part of the cork protruding through 
the aperture of the lid. 
Several such boxes, placed one upon the other in such a manner that the 
gauze bottom of one rests upon the corks of the other, are bound with travelling 
straps for transport. For ordinary excursions a single box is usually quite 
sufficient and may be carried conveniently slung by a shoulder strap.
