This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ...I give the method of obtaining them. Make a moderately thick paste with flour and water, stir and beat up daily with a spoon to prevent any growth of moulds, when, if the weather is moderately warm, the young entozoa will be found, sometimes in large quantites. To observe them, place a small piece of paste containing them in a drop of water in an ordinary animalcule box, or between the two cells of the gas-cell (Figs. 9 and 10, Chapter I., page 13). These animals may be kept for years if a little fresh paste is added occasionally. 94. Anoplura.--An order of insects, parasitic, upon birds and animals, generally known as lice. These insects may be treated in a similar manner to the acari or mites, especially if they are of a small species; if 48347 larger, as in the case of the parasite on the pig, human, &c, it is better to treat them with potass as described for small insects (see Chapter III., page 73), and mount in balsam or dammar, or they may be washed in acetic acid, and mounted in glycerine. 95. Antennce of Insects.--These organs require but little dissection. It generally is sufficient to cut them off from the head of the insect with a pair of sharppointed scissors, and if thick remove them, to be softened in the potass, washed, pressed, dry, and mounted in balsam in the ordinary manner; if not thick enough to require this, they must be soaked for a short time in turpentine, which will render them transparent enough to be observed, or in some cases they may be mounted dry transparent, as, for instance, the antennae of the common gnat. Some of the antennae of the larger beetles only show well when mounted in a dry opaque cell. Many of the small antennae show well when put up in a cell in a suitable fluid (Recipes 3, 12,'52,55,...
