The following catalogue of the exhibit made by the Division of Kutomology, Department of Agriculture, for the World’s Columbian Exposition at Chicago, has been prepared with a view of increasing the usefulness of the exhibit from an economic and educational stand- point, and is intended to supplement the exhibit by giving such infor- mation regarding each separate item as the articles themselves do not convey or which it was impossible to give upon the limited space of the labels accompanying each specimen or article exhibited, though these have been made as full as circumstances would permit. In the preparation of the catalogue and of the exhibit itself I have had the aid of Mr. C. L. Marlatt, who has been particularly charged with the work, and whose assistance | take pleasure in acknowledging. The exhibit of the division is intended to illustrate the work that has been done in applied entomology, viz, the investigation of the his- tory of injurious insects and the devising of suitable remedies to pre- vent their injuries; also the work of building up and maintaining a large and valuable national collection of American species, and inci- dentally the representation of exotic insects for purposes of compatri- son. The intimate connection of the Department of Insects of the National Museum with the Division of Entomology has justified me, as honorary curator of said Departinent in the National Museum, in com- bining this last feature with the exhibit of the U.S. Department of Agri- culture, and, to avoid duplication, I have, with Prof. Goode’s approval, confined the Museum exhibit to an exposition of the characteristics of the families of American insects. Certain prominent and interesting exhibits of an entirely novel character in the line of entomological illustration have also been made, the leading features of which are wax models of the host plants. While a number of plants have been thus modeled, I have designed to thus represent more particularly two of the most important and characteristic of the economic plants of North America, viz, cotton and Indian corn; and one, which, as the most conspicuous and wide- spread of the floral forms which add beauty to our autumn scenery, is, 7 8 perhaps, the most characteristic from the esthetic side. I refer to the Golden Rod, which is also of great entomological interest from the vast number of insects which either nourish from it or are attracted to its bloom. Another feature of the exhibit is a rather extensive and very showy collection of insects, chiefly South American, which is presented to give some idea of the nature and extent of the insect fauna of the tropical regions of this hemisphere. Many of these species, collected by Mr. H. H. Smith, are undescribed, and as the names of these exotic forms would be of little service even where they could be given, and as they are exhibited for other reasons, no attempt has been made at classification or determination. This is to form the showy portion of the exhibit, and, with the Solidago display, appeals to the love of the beautiful in contrast with the remainder of the exhibit, which is scien- tific or educational and has been arranged with little regard to artistic effect. The exhibit is made up of the following sections: SEcTION 1.—INSECTS INJURIOUS TO AGRICULTURE. This section of the exhibit comprises some 602 special exhibits, each of which is an object lesson and pictorial epitome of the life history of a single injurious species, including as far as possible the different stages of growth of the insect; the injury it does, with specimens; its enemies and parasites; the available remedies and preventives, and references to the chief articles where full information may be found. These references are principally to Government and State reports to which the farmer is most likely to have access. These exhibits are grouped together according to the plants or animals affected, and relate solely to orchard, field, and garden crops, the parasites of domestic ani- mals, and household pests. A small representative collection of cases of insect enemies to forest trees has also been added. Supplementing the above are exhibits representing specially injurious species of prime importance affecting particular crops, which are ac- companied by wax models of the plants, showing the injury in contrast, for the most part, with models of the perfect plants displayed alongside. Noteworthy in this series are the special exhibits of the Hop Plant-louse (Phorodon humuli), and of the Chinch Bug (Blissus leucopterous), which include greatly enlarged models in papier-maché of the insects in diff- erent stages. The Fluted Scale (Icerya purchasi), which has been so prominent of late years in California, and its principal enemy, the Australian Ladybird (Vedalia cardinalis), which has so throughly destroyed or controlled the scale, are also represented in this series, together with enlarged models of the Vedalia. A number of anatomical models made by Dr. Auzoux (Paris), representing the Silkworm and Moth, Honeybee, and Cockchafer are also exhibited. 9 SECTION 2.—SYSTEMATIC AND BIOLOGIC ENTOMOLOGY. This section of the exhibit is illustrative of the national collection, which is under my charge as honorary curator of the Department of Insects. It consists of a series of drawers representing samples of the systematic collection in different orders, and also of sample drawers of the biologic series, systematically arranged, representing the full life- history of the species which have been studied, whether of economic importance or not, and these will be interesting more especially to the student or professional entomologist. These are exhibited not as com- plete series, but as samples taken from the actual] collection to illus- trate the methods employed in the arrangement of the regular system- atic and biologic series, and also to give the visiting entomologist an insight into the present status of the national collection. With this section is included the showy exhibit of insects chiefly from South America, referred to in the introductory paragraph; also the special exhibit of the Golden Rod with the insects which affect or frequent it. SECTION 3.—S1LK INSECTS. This section includes a biologic exhibit, in some cases with specimens of the raw silk, of the more important native and foreign Lepidop- tera, the larve of which spin silken cocoons, and which are or may be of value as commercial sources of silk. SECTION 4.—PROFESSIONAL EXHIBIT. What has been thus denominated is an exhibit of the apparatus used by the professional or the amateur entomologist in the collecting of insects and in their mounting, rearing, and preservation. This includes a full display of all the ordinary apparatus used for these purposes, of chief interest among which will be the series of different devices and methods for rearing insects, comprising a large variety of cages or vivaria, and breeding-jars of all sorts. Many of these are fitted with wax plants and insects, showing the exact methods followed in the work of the Division. This section gives a complete illustration of the implements, apparatus, and methods of work of the practical entomologist. SECTION 5.—INSECTICIDES. This section comprises insecticide preparations which have proved of value in the work of the entomologist in the prevention or de- struction of injurious insects. To make the exhibit as complete as possible some of the more valuable of the patented articles have also been included. The first part of the exhibit includes the important in- secticides not covered by patents, some eighty samples being shown, of which a dozen or so are of supreme importance and fulfill all ordinary needs, the others being of only occasional value. The proprietary and 10 patented articles are exhibited without comment, for the reason that all practical requirements in the way of remedies are met by the use of unpatented substances shown in the first portion of the exhibit. SECTION 6.—MACHINERY. In this section are included the more important nozzles for the appli- cation of liquid insecticides and a few of the leading insecticide ma- chines, the latter collection representing some typical forms, special prominence being given to the knapsack sprayers, and no attempt be- ing made to show make a complete exhibit of all insecticide machinery. A feature of the nozzle exhibit is a series of trial nozzles which were made in the elaboration of the principle of the cyclone or eddy-chamber spray nozzle, which, with its modifications, is now in such general use in all parts of the world, and the original type of which has come to be known (against my own inclination) as the Riley nozzle. SECTION 7.—OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE U.S. ENTOMOLOGIST. This section includes as complete a file as could be secured of the official entomological publications issued by the national government, and comprises both the work of the Division of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture and .of the United States Entomological Commission. SECTION 8.—ILLUSTRATIONS, MAPS, AND CHARTS. An exhibit has been prepared of all the entomological illustrations which have been published by me in an official capacity, either as State Entomologist of Missouri or as United States Entomologist, aud also as chief of the United States Entomological Commission. These are grouped in two series; one,illustrations of North American insects, mostly from my reports on the insects of Missouri, and from my own drawings; the other, illustrations of North American insects, mostly from drawings made under my supervision by Miss Sullivan, in the Division of Entomology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The illus- trations of machinery which have been published by the Division and by the Entomological Commission, are also included in this section, but are exhibited separately with the exhibition of insecticide machin- ery. All these illustrations are mounted on large sheets, and have references to the publications in which they are fully described. With this part of the exhibit is also shown a series of maps and charts illus- trating the range of important injurious insects on this continent, and a number of large solar prints illustrating the classification of insects, by means of charts representing the different orders and suborders by typical insects in their different stages of development. There are also charts of special injurious species, together with views represent- ing the practical application of insecticides, and interesting views of 11 insect depredation. Most of the charts are photographed from originals used in my lectures more than twenty years since, and do not indicate, so far as classification goes, some of the later views adopted. Still another series gives interior and exterior views of the insectary of the Department, and interiors of the entomological rooms in the Depart- ment, and the National Museum. The whole exhibit is intended to illustrate primarily the nature of the national collection of insects and the methods of work followed in the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, and I have felt in preparing it that such a collection would be most likely to prove unique and not in any way duplicate what the different States as such may do in the same line.

A hill of ripening corn reproduced in wax is exhibited as a center piece about which to group the insects affecting this crop, 129 distinct - corn enemies being represented in the accompanying cases of the eco- nomic exhibit. The corn plant is chosen and thus fully treated as rep- resenting the most typical of the cereal crops of temperate North America. Theinsect enemies represented in the surrounding cases are treated separately, but arranged according to the nature of the injury they do to the corn plant, namely, as affecting the root, stalk, leaves, or ears. Each insect is shown, as far as possible, in its different stages, together with the injury occasioned by it. Remedies are given and references made to the chief literature. (See Nos. 202-330.) 604. COTTON PLANT. Gossypium herbaceum. A hill of ripening cotton reproduced in wax is exhibited as a center piece about which to group the insects affecting this crop, some 36 dis- tinct cotton enemies being represented in the accompanying cases of the economic exhibit. The insect enemies represented in the surround- ing cases are treated separately, but arranged according to the part of the plant they injure, namely, stems, leaves, or bolls. (See Nos. 331-367.) 605. COTTON WORM. Aletia xylina. Model in wax of a portion of the cotton plant, showing character- istic defoliation of the leaves resulting from the attacks of the young or mature larve. (See No. 341.) 606. COTTON BOLL WORM. Heliothis armiger. Model in wax of a portion of the cotton plant showing injury oc- casioned by the larve of the boll worm to the leaves, squares, forms, and bolls of cotton. (See No. 358.) 607. GOLDEN ROD. Solidago sp. Model in wax of a clump of Golden Rod with a number of the in- sects which commonly frequent it disposed on the bloom, and an ac- companying exhibit showing the wide variety of insect life known to breed on it, and also the insects known to frequent it commonly for the honey and pollen. 73 608. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Unaffected Hop Plant. A spray of hops, modeled in wax, representing the plant as it ap- pears in vigorous growing condition, and free from the attacks of its principal enemy, the Hop Plant-Louse, to contrast the stronger foliage and more abundant and larger hops produced by plants from which the hop louse has been eradicated by the use of proper remedies. (See No. 198.) : 609. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Affected Hop Plant. A spray of hops modeled in wax, representing the vine as it ap- pears when attacked by the Hop Plant-Louse, showing the blackening and discoloration of the leaves and the small and inferior hops, which are also discolored and otherwise unsuitable for market. 610. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Winter eggs. Enlarged model in papier maché of the winter eggs, which are at- tached by the sexual female to the terminal twigs of the Plum, in crey- ices around the buds. 611. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Stem-Mother. The stout female plant-louse shown in this papier maché model hatches from the winter egg and is characterized by shorter legs and honey-tubes. It gives birth without the intervention of the male to living young, of which three generations are produced on the plum tree, the last being winged and migrating to the hop. 612. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Winged Migrant. This model represents the first winged generation, the third pro- duced on the Plum. It instinctively flies to the hop plant and is the progenitor of from five to twelve wingless generations of virgin fe- males, which people the hop plants until autumn and are the sole forms which depredate on the hop. In autumn the last generation pro- duces again winged females, which fly to the plum trees. 612a. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Hop-affecting stage. This model represents the structure and appearance of the five to twelve wingless generations of virgin females which people the hop ae TA plant until autumn. These are the progeny of the win yee migrant ee 612), and are the sole forms which injure the hop. 613. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Return Migrant. This model represents the last generation produced on the hop, the winged migrant form which in September returns again to the plum and gives birth to three or more young, which are the true sexual females, the first perfect sexual females produced in the cycle uP to this anne 613a. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Pupa of Return Migrant. This model represents the pupal stage of the return migrant. The striking features are the wing-pads, which with another molt become the ample flight organs seen in the model of the adult. 614. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. True sexual female. This model represents the generation born of the return migrant, which never acquire wings and never leave the plum tree. Maturing in a few days, according to the temperature, they are fertilized by the true winged males which have been subsequently developed on the hops, and have come from the hop fields to the plum. Shortly after fertilization the winter eggs, with which the cycle started, are deposited. 614a. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Young sexual female. This model represents the newly hatched stage of the only perfectly developed sexual female produced in the life cycle of this insect. For the adult of this stage see Exhibit No. 614. 615. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Winged male. This model represents the first and only male generation produced in the life cycle of the Hop Plant-louse. This is developed in the autumn and flies from the hop to the plum and fertilizes the true sex- ual females. | 15 616. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. REMEDIES AND PREVENTIVES: The attacks of the Hop Plant- louse may be prevented very satisfactorily by first destroying all the wild plum trees in the neighborhood except a few which may be left for trap plants. These latter should be sprayed with strong kerosene emulsion in September to destroy the return migrant and its progeny, and also the winter eggs, and again in spring to reach the two or three plum generations which may have developed from eggs escaping the fall treatment. Secondly, by destroying the hop plants as soon as the crop is gathered. Thirdly, and perhaps least effectively on account of the difficulties attending the treatment, spraying the hop plants with kerosene emulsion diluted about ten times. Fourthly, spraying the affected hop plants with a dilute decoction of quassia chips. 617. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. REMEDY: Kerosene emulsion. Le is Rey oer eke epee ee ee en gallons... 2 67 per cent. Common or whale olf Soap. -= +22. 2222-2 -- sec tees pound... 4 ae ee eee ae ee gallon.. 1 33 per cent. Heat the solntion of soap and add it boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the mixture by means of a force pump and spray nozzle for five or ten minutes. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream which thick- ‘ens upon cooling and should adhere without oiliness to the surface of glass. Used for spraying plum trees in spring and fall, also applied to affected hop plants by means of a force pump and spray nozzle. 618. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. REMEDY: Quassia. A decoction of quassia chips, made by steeping them in water, is recommended as a wash for the Hop Louse and gives fairly good satisfaction, but is less serviceable than the kerosene emul- sion. 619. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. The Eggs. The greatly enlarged papier maché model represents the form of the egg and the terminal cap. The eggs are three-tenths of an inch long, the top being squarely docked and surmounted by four round tubercles near the center. Color from pale whitish to amber. (See No. 272.) 620. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. First larval stage. This stage, represented greatly enlarged in the model, differs from the adult in being more elongate and in having two-jointed tarsi, the 76 head broader and more rounded and the joints of the body subequal. The prevailing color of the whole body is red. 621. CHINCH BUG, Blissus leucopterus. Second larval stage. After the first moult the form represented in the enlarged model is assumed. The red becomes a bright vermilion and contrasts with the pale band across the middle of the body, while the head and prothorax are dusky and coriaceous. Two broad marks appear on the meso- thorax and the second, fourth, and fifth abdominal sutures, and one at the tip of the abdomen. 622. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. Pupa. The pupa shown in the greatly enlarged models approaches still more nearly the form of the adult. and is not unlike the last larval stage except in being darker and in the appearance of wing-pads, which extend almost across the pale basal abdominal joints. 623. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. The imago. The mature insect, which is represented greatly enlarged in papier maché, is elongate, blackish, and with numerous hairs, or pubescent. Its length is about three-twentieths of an inch. The outer wings are whitish, with a strong distinctive black spot. 624. FLUTED SCALE. Icerya purchasi.

The important apparatus for the collection of insects consists of va. rious styles of nets adapted for different methods of collecting. These are for collecting insects during flight or about flowers, comprising butterfly nets; for collecting insects from grass or shrubbery, or even trees, comprising beating nets; and nets for collecting aquatic insects, comprising water and dip nets. Several styles of nets for each of these purposes are illustrated in the collection as follows: Butterfiy Nets. The essentials of collecting apparatus of this class are a light ring (preferably made so that it will fold into small compass for packing) and a light, detachable handle, great strength of these parts or of the net itself not being required on account of the fact that the net is used chiefly in the air. The net is of cheese cloth or light muslin, and should be made into a more or less pointed bag, having a length of about three times the diameter of the net ring. 722. RILEY BUTTERFLY NET. Made of two pieces of brass wire, each about 20 inches long, bent half circularly and fastened at one end by a folding hinge, having a check on one side. The other ends are beaten into two square loops, which fit over a square projection on the end of the ferule and are firmly secnred by milled screw which fits into the end of the ferule. This allows easy removal and folding into small space for convenient carriage. — 723. THE SCHONBORN BUTTERFLY NET. This net is similar to the previous, but differs from it in the mode of attachment of the ring to the ferule. The ferule is double and the inner piece is deeply grooved on either side to receive the prolongation of the wire forming the ring. The outer ferule, which is slid down on the handle while the ring is being put in place, is then pushed up over the inner ferule, firmly clamping the ring in place and forming a very strong and satisfactory attachment. 89 90 Sweeping Nets. A much heavier net is required for this purpose, to support the wear coming from vigorous sweeping back and forthin shrubbery and grass. The ring must be very heavy and provided with some means of pro- tecting the cloth from wear at its point of attachment to the ring, and the cloth or bag itself shculd be of much heavier material than in the butterfly nets. 724. THE DEYROLLE SWEEPING NET. The ring of this net is a strong flat piece of brass or steel, hinged on either side to allow folding into small compass and grooved exte- riorly, the groove being pierced by numerous small holes, so that the net can be fastened on the inside and the fastening twine will be pro- tected from wear by being sunk in the exterior groove. The net rim has a square tongue which enters the ferule and is fastened in place for use by means of a milled screw. 725. THE KIESENWETTER SWEEPING NET. The principle of this net is in general the same as that of the Riley Butterfly Net, but the ring is of much heavier wire and the net proper is attached to it by means of numerous small brass rings slipped on the main ring of the net. These rings should not be more than three- fourths of an inch apart, and the bag is sewed to them with strong twine and thus protected from wear and tear. 726. THE FISH-NET RING. A very satisfactory ring for a beating net is the smallest size of brass folding net ring used for catching minnows. It is made of strong wire and folds in two or three places into small compass and may be used with or without rings, as in the last net described. Water Nets. . These nets are smaller than those just described and the net proper, which may be either of cloth or wire netting, is much shorter, not much exceeding the diameter of the net ring. 727. THE PACKARD WATER NET. The net ring in this apparatus is moderately strong and is bent squarely across at the front edge to facilitate the scraping of logs or submerged stones. The net proper is either of coarse grass cloth or wire netting. 728. THE JOCKEY-CAP DIP NET. This is a small water sieve or scoop and is made of wire netting and tin. It is used to collect any particular specimens of aquatic insects or to scrape Submerged stones or timber. 4 | | | | | i ; 91 Collecting by Beating. Apparatus for this work consists of an umbrella, beating cloth or other device, which is held beneath a limb or shrub and the latter jarred by means of a stick or by shaking, thus causing the insects to fall from it upon the collecting surface beneath, where they are captured. 729. THE UMBRELLA. A common umbrella may be used for this purpose, or one specially constructed with a joint near the middle of the handle to facilitate its being held beneath branches and to allow of its being packed into small compass. 730. THE BEATING-CLOTH. This is used as a substitute for the umbrella, and consists of a stout cloth, a yard square, with a loop of strong twine sewed in at each cor- ner. Two straight sticks to hold it expanded are placed crosswise and fastened to the loops, by which means the cloth is kept outspread. When not in use it can be folded up into small compass. 731. THE MARX UMBRELLA NET. This net is made from an old umbrella, and two steel rods ettached to an umbrella handle at the top and to a sliding ferule at the bottom, constitute the ring. The net is a shallow bag of cloth. When in use the ferule is slipped up the umbrella handle until it catches behind a lip, forming a circle, and when not in use it is allowed to slide back and resume the shape and size, with the net wound about it, of an ordinary unbrella. It is used in beating, and also serves for sweeping. 732. THE SIEVE. This is a most useful apparatus, and is employed for collecting in- sects which are harbored by grass, leaves, or rubbish. The ordinary sieve will answer the purpose, or one specially constructed as in the example exhibited. It is used over a cloth or paper. 733. THE BAG SIEVE. Two brass or steel rings, one of which is covered with wire gauze, are attached to the top and bottom of a strong cloth bag 12 or 15 inches long. Leaves or rubbish are placed in the bag, which is then shaken over a collecting cloth, as with the ordinary sieve. 734. THE HAVERSACKE. The ordinary willow bag or basket used by anglers will serve the ento- mologist to transport the various collecting bottles and apparatus which it is necessary to take on excursions. Such a one is exhibited. i “oa Tweezers and Forceps. A variety of implements for collecting, pinning, mounting, and hand- ling insects is essential to satisfactory work. These include tweezers for collecting small and delicate specimens and transferring them to bottles and vials; and various pinning and transferring forceps and brushes. 735. PINNING FORCEPS FOR LETIDOPTERA. These are peculiar, in being stronger and in having more or less de- cidedly kneed handles, to adapt them for the heavier work of transfer- ring and setting the larger Lepidoptera. The knee in the handle allows the forceps to be thrust beneath the insect, and allows the pin to be more securely thrust into the cork. 736. COMMON PINNING FORCEPS. The form exhibited is the one usually employed by entomologists, and serves for all ordinary operations of pinning. Other styles, prac- tically of the same character, are also shown. 737. COLLECTING TWEEZERS. For this purpose any light, pliable, fine-pointed forceps are suitable, the points being either straight or curved at the tip, according to indi- vidual preference. They are used not only for picking up specimens from the collecting cloth or umbrella, but are indispensable for extract- ing insects from cracks or holes in timber, their burrows, ete. Of the two or three styles exhibited, the larger can be used for collecting scorpions or ferocious insects which one does not care to take with the hand. 738. THE COLLECTING BRUSH. A common camel’s-hair brush is shown, which, being first slightly moistened, is used for collecting very delicate specimens or in trans- ferring them, to avoid the injury which would certainly result from handling them with tweezers or the fingers. 739. THE COLLECTING PILL BOX. This is a device for collecting Micro-Lepidoptera used by Lord Walsingham. It consists of an ordinary pill box, the bottom of which has been removed and a piece of glass substituted. This pill box ad- mits of the immediate examination of specimens, so that worthless or common species can be discarded. Boxes for First Preservation of Living Specimens. In collecting insects it is frequently necessary to keep the specimens obtained alive for purposes of future study or for breeding, and a eae ca 1S Niet Sn i i ot ra nes AIS Oe rate i Eg eS Se hs 93 variety of boxes will be required to accommodate the insects or their. early stages of different orders. These boxes should be nearly air- tight to prevent drying, and this will not endanger the life of the cap- tures, because insects require very little air. 740-743. SEIDLITZ-POWDER BOXES. These can be obtained of druggists, or made, by any tinsmith, of : various sizes, the corners being carefully rounded to permit of the : proper bending of the sides. They can be left in the flat until ready for use, and then bent into shape. Two or three convenient sizes are illustrated. The circular tin box used by watchmakers is also excel- lent. 744. COLLECTING AND PRESERVING SUBSTANCES. Under this head the chief agents for collecting and preserving and mounting insects are exhibited—alcohol, chloroform, ether, cyanide of potassium, benzine, gasoline, naphtha, creosote, benzole, Wickers- heimer’s preserving fluid, Spalding’s glue, shellac (solid), shellac (fluid), naphthaline cones, naphthaline crystals, gum camphor, bisulphide of - carbon, mercury, carbolic acid. Collecting Bottles. These consist of any wide-mouthed bottle, or specimen tubes may be used, and they may be of a variety of sizes, to accommodate the dif- ferent orders of insects. A number of styles are exhibited. Nearly all the collecting bottles now used are charged with cyanide of potas- sium, which is put in in the solid form and held in place on the bottom of the vial by pouring in liquid plaster of Paris; which subsequently hardens, or by fastening it down with a paper wad. 745. THE CYANIDE BOTTLE WITH PAPER STRIPS. This is an ordinary cyanide bottle with plaster of Paris covering the cyanide, but to prevent the insects from grating on each other and also to absorb the moisture the vial above the cyanide is partially filled with strips of bibulous paper. 746. THE CYANIDE BOTTLE WITH PAPER LINING. The absorption of moisture, which is so injurious to delicate small specimens, is also accomplished by putting a strip of blotting paper around the inner side of the bottle and covering the plaster of Paris with circular pieces of blotting paper just fitting the interior of the bottle. 747. VEST POCKET CYANIDE BOTTLE This is made of a small test tube, the cyanide being broken up some- what finely, and held in place by crowding in some soft and bibulous paper. 94 748. GOOSE-QUILL COLLECTING BOTTLE. This is made of a small cyanide bottle or test tube, and differs from the foregoing in that a goose quill is introduced through the cork, so that small specimens can be put into the bottle without first taking out the cork. This form of bottle will last for several days, but will need recharging oftener than other styles. 749. LARGE CYANIDE BOTTLE. Similar to No. 745 or 746, but larger, and employed to kill the larger moths, ete. 750. CHLOROFORM AND ETHER BOTTLES. These are of especial value in the case of butterflies, moths, and del- icate Hymenoptera and Diptera. An ordinary stout bottle, with a camel’s hair brush securely inserted in the cork, answers the purpose, or in place of the brush a dropping-needle may be inserted in the cork. Both styles are shown. Apparatus for Rearing Insects. A diversity of apparatus for the rearing of insects, indoors more particularly, is used in the work of the Division of Entomology. A considerable series of breeding-cages, jars, etc., is exhibited, showing practically all the important vivaria needful for the securing of insects and their protection during the study of their transformations and habits. 751. LARGE GLASS BREEDING JAR WITH EARTH. Illustrating method of breeding grass-feeding larve in jar with earth, in which the larve may enter for pupation or hibernation. 752. FLOWER-POT BREEDING-CAGE. This is a simple device for the rearing of insects on growing plants, either indoors or out. It consists of an ordinary flower pot, containing the plant which is to furnish food for the insect or which is already . effected, and a glass cylinder which fits closely into the top of the pot, the free end being covered with muslin. Subject: Oak gall, from New Mexico. 753. LARGE GLASS BREEDING JAR. Containing maple leaves, and illustrating the method of breeding Lepidopterous larve which enter the soil to pupate. Subject: The Maple Worm, Dryocampa rubicunda. 755. THE BREEDING CAGE OR VIVARIUM. This, as at present improved, consists of three distinct parts—the base, the box proper, and the top or cover. The base is specially con- [ae Nh ie la DS i oe Ep < as! 95 structed to facilitate keeping the soil in the bottom of the cage moist q without pouring water in from above, which would cause packing. It is of zinc, and so arranged that a pan surrounds the perforated com- partment for the earth, thus allowing the water poured into the pan to penetrate the perforations and moisten the earth in the breeding- cage gradually and without the disadvantages alluded to. The box proper or central portion has a swinging door, the other three sides being of glass, or one or more of them may be covered with gauze to give ventilation. The top is covered with wire gauze. This cage admits abundant light and air, and is easily opened for the removal of specimens, the insertion of fresh food, ete. 756. THE MUSLIN-COVERED BREEDING CAGE. This apparatus is useful in the breeding and study of the habits of insects affecting small grains and forage plants, and is applicable to both indoor and outdoor experimentation. It consists of a strong box for the reception of the earth in which the plants to be studied are propagated, and of a light frame covered with gauze, which at the proper time may be fitted closely over the growing plants to retain the insects that have been introduced or to protect the plants from undesirable species. The one exhibited is of small size, and larger boxes will ordinarily be more convenient, while for field work the box with the growing plant may be embedded in the soil, or the screen alone may be used to cover a portion of naturally growing vegetation. 757. THE ROOT CAGE. This apparatus was devised for the study of insects affecting the roots of plants, and consists of a zinc frame with two plates of glass in a vertical position, with an arrangement for a zine sliding cover which fits into grooves, and may be removed to admit of examination of the progress of the root-infesting insects. The cage exhibited is of small size, but in the work of the Entomologist cages of various sizes are used, some being very large to admit of the reception of small shrubs. 758. PENT-HOUSE BREEDING CAGE. This is exhibited to illustrate a simple method of constructing a cage — for the breeding of insects which feed on low plants, or for use in the field on collecting excursions. It is constructed by cutting two flexi- ble twigs and bending them into the shape of two arches, putting one over the other at right angles and pushing the ends well into the ground. Over the pent-house thus formed a piece of gauze is stretched and the cage is complete. 759. THE AERIAL BREEDING CAGE, OR BAG. A simple device for the outdoor rearing of species which oviposit on trees and large shrubs is shown in this exhibit. It is valuable for 96 the caging of female Lepidoptera out of doors, in order that they may oviposit on a food-plant, or that the males may be attracted and caught, either for introduction with the females or for the collection. The device consists in inclosing a branch of a tree in netting, care being taken to avoid all creases or folds into which the insect might crawl and be killed by spiders from the outside of the bag. 760-773. BREEDING JARS. Much of the work of breeding insects can be most satisfactorily accomplished by the use of ordinary candy jars or battery jars, or even tumblers and test tubes of small size for very minute wood-boring or gall-making insects. These may be covered with gauze, or, in the case of nearly dry specimens, such as wood-boring insects, or galls, may be inclosed with glass or cork stoppers, to prevent further evaporation Tubes are also available for breeding delicate specimens, such as root lice, or for inclosing the stems of plants containing internal feeders, or for the reception of delicate pupe.
