Each specimen in the collection should be labelled with the name of the animal, the date, and locality, and the name of the collector, with any particular information which will make it more instructive. If such special data are too volu- minous for a label, they should be written in a general note-book called "Notes on Collections" (kept in the schoolroom with the collection), the specimen and corresponding data being given a common number so that their association may be recog- nized. In the following para- graphs are given brief directions for catching, pinning up, and caring for insects, for making skins of birds and mammals. Fig. 241. Insect killing-bottle; and for the alcoholic preserva- cyanide of potassium at bot- tion of Other kinds of animals. Insects.—For catching insects there are needed a net, a killing- bottle, a few small vials of alcohol, and a few small boxes to carry home live specimens, cocoons, galls, etc. For preparing and preserving the insects there are needed insect- pins, cork- or pith-lined drawers or boxes, and small wide- mouthed bottles of alcohol. The net, about 2 feet deep, tapering and rounded at its lower end, is made of cheesecloth or bobinet (not mosquito- netting, which is too frail), attached to a ring, one foot in diameter, of No. 3 galvanized iron wire, which in turn is. torn, covered with plaster of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability
