The simplest and most economical method of obtaining one, but that requiring the greatest amount of time and per- sevei'ance, is to preserve each and every object related in any way to the history and trans- formations of insects. The manner of preserving these varies according to the nature of the sub- stance, and diflFcrent circumstances may neces- sitate the use of different means. I propose to give some account of those methods which ha

It is more difficult to preserve caterpillars, on account of the soft nature of the body. They can be preserved in vials of alcohol ; this is the simplest way. But the fact that the appearance of many larvae is greatly altered by preserving them in alcohol leads many entomologists to remove the viscera from such larva; and inflate and dry the skins. The process is somewhat difficult and dis- agreeable to perform, but if it
