Dry heat is the best method, but it should be accompanied after deatli by further drying after an opening has been made into the body, lest the contents shoukl decay. Parasitized speci- mens form the best material for tlie cabinet, but even shells from whicli tlie inmate has escaped can by careful manipulation and a little glue have their separated parts so joined as to answer fairly the desired purpose. Solid specimens can be pinned through one side of the thorax, but the mere pellicle should have the hooks of the tail securely fastened to a little ball of cotton wool or bit of felt, through which the pin may be passed. It is not easy to glue empty chrysalids permanently to cards, and these are very apt to hide the parts one wishes at some future time to examine. Skilful persons may attain some success with thin-skinned chrysalids, like that of the milkweed butterfly, for instance, the shape of which is difficult to retain, by removing the con- tents through a small opening at one side and stuffing with cotton.
