Abstract
A NOTE in a recent number of NATURE, reminds me of some experiments I made about 15 years ago upon the action of the vapours of volatile liquids (hydrocarbons, chloroform, &c.) on insects, my object being to find an expeditious and painless method of killing entomological specimens. Several vapours produced insensibility from which the insects recovered more or less rapidly, but bisulphide of carbon vapour killed them effectually.
