Página 21 - Diptera should always be brought home alive in the glass-bottomed pill-boxes (to which they are to be transferred on being captured in the net), and should then be killed in the cyanidebottle or jar immediately before being pinned. As soon as a fly is taken in the net by a dexterous sweep, a sharp turn of the wrist must be given (following a smart downward or lateral stroke in order to bring the fly to the end of the net), in such a way that the end of the net containing the insect falls over the...

The mixture is kept at a temperature of 212° F. ; 30 pounds of caustic soda is then added and the solution kept at 212° F. until a perfectly dark emulsion without sediment is obtained.

Since the boxes are constructed of cardboard, they are liable in tropical countries to go to pieces in the rains ; and to prevent this they should be covered with jaconet in the following manner, the important point to remember being that the jaconet must be cut in strips on the cross :— Obtain, say, a square yard of the material, and fold it into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together.

The larvae of each species must of course be kept separate, and should be put up in a small corked glass tube full of spirit, the necessary particulars, with, if possible, a reference to pinned specimens of the perfect insect, being written...
Página 23 - Lastly, thrust an ordinary pin through the disc near the margin for the purpose of carrying both disc and specimen, and draw the disc a good half-way up the carrying-pin.
