bark as carefully as possible. The insect

but the whole enclosed was so crushed in

animation. We have sent il TO DR.. Thom-
as, state entOmologist, for identiti-
cation ii possible. In this connection
We would again say 10 our cores
dents: Send Us specimens for identitica-
ton. They will be cheeriully and careful
ly taken care of. Eggs and soft iarve may
be safely sent in an elder stock with the
pith punched ont and the ends corked, or
in section OF wood, bored into endwis,
with bit, and the end corked. So also
may beetles or shelly-winged insects he
sent. Moths and that class OF insects
should be killed with chlorofOrm and Sc
curely fastened in strong paper pill boxes,
with mUcilage bands. Thus arranged they
will come safely by mail. Never send en-
tomolngical specimens wrapped in paper,
and enclosed loosely in letters. The speci-
mems almost invariably get crushed.
