This most ingenious invention is designed for the rearing of all living
objects of Natural History, and is of the greatest assistance in the
scientific study (under the most favourable conditions) of the wonderful
economy and transformation of nature, and so constructed as to enable
the specimen to develop to the fullest perfection.
=No. 1=, as illustrated, is a Ventilated Lid or Cover, with deep rim
(which fits inside of glass case, No. 2), deep enough to prevent larvae
from spinning on the glass, thus allowing the cover, with cocoons and
pupae attached, to be removed for inspection, or stored away in large
cages until they emerge.
=No. 2=, Glass Case, which permits the full power of light to freely
enter on all parts of the specimens from every point of view.
=No. 3=, The Base (which the Case No. 2 fits into) is made to contain
earth for the growing of plants, or for the use of those insects who
bury during pupa state. The bottom of the base is perforated to allow
the air to pass through the case, thus preventing over-heating,
steaming, or mildew of the specimens, earth, or plants, which is very
difficult to prevent in other forms of cases.
=No. 4=, Is a small movable Pot to contain water in which the stems of
food plants may be placed that cannot be grown in the case, such as the
cuttings of trees, etc., which last for a considerable time in this
case.
The Pot has a perforated india-rubber cover to prevent the larvae from
entering the water.
