Excerpt from Coleoptera
Very minute beetles are gummed upon small slips of paper or of mica, and these slips then pinned in the collection. A convenient kind of slip is a narrow triangle of stiff white paper, the triangle about one-fourth of an inch long, and one-sixteenth of an inch wide at the larger end. The beetle is gummed - with a mucilage of gum tragacanth or of shellac neatly across the pointed end of the triangle, which is then pinned through its broad end, and arranged in the collection.
