_2. Directions for Collecting and Preserving Specimens, Photographing,
Surveying, and Other Phases of Technique_
There is such an abundance of literature on the technique of collecting
and preserving specimens, and so much of it can easily be secured
by any earnest student, that space will not be taken to discuss
these subjects in detail. Reference will simply be made to the main
convenient sources of information. It should perhaps be mentioned
that very few of these papers have been especially prepared from the
standpoint of the animal ecologist. The student must select and devise
his methods from all available sources.
I have included in this list a few references on the subject of
camping, photography, and the use of instruments needed in the
determination of the physical features of the environment. A few
miscellaneous papers which are suggestive on methods of technique are
also added.
