Abstract
Anyone who has had even the slightest experience in attempting to get intelligent notes to accompany his acquistions by exchange has doubtless been sorely vexed–to put it no more strongly. Anyone who has tried to keep a careful record of the conditions under which his own collections were made has also doubtless felt the need of some better scheme than the regulation notebook. It is for these reasons that I suggest an idea whic I find very useful.In the first place, I write (or print with a hand stamp) my own locality labels so that I can fix the places definitely. The ordinary entomologist, unless he has a large collection from precisely the same limited locality, can scarcely afford to have special labels printed, and general ones are useless when the collection is to be used for more than a purely æsthetic exhibition.
