Excerpt from Instructions for Collecting, Rearing, and Preserving British Insects: Also for Collecting and Preserving British Crustacea Shells; Together With a Description of Entomological Apparatus: To Which Is Added, a List of New and Rare Species of Insects, &C. With Their Localities and Times of Appearance, Intended for Collectors
The design of the following pages is to supply instructions, in a detached form, for collecting and preserving British Insects, Crustacea and Shells; not only for the Student, but also to distribute to persons residing in the Country, who wish to oblige their Entomological friends by collecting, or employing others to collect for them. The want of such a work, for distribution, has been long felt, and it is hoped that the present will be found useful for the purpose. It has been the chief aim of the author to make the instructions as full and as simple as possible, and many useful hints and directions will be found peculiar to this work.
To those who wish for information as to the localities, habitats, and periods of appearance, of particular British Insects, &c.
