Collecting (notes for field botanists, travellers and collectors). 



OUTFIT. Any or all of the following may be needed, according to 



the places to be visited, and the kind of work to be done. All that is 



needed should be taken from the start, as it is usually difficult to get 



suitable things quickly elsewhere; extra supplies of paper, &c. may be 



sent to the " Poste restante " at places to be visited en route. 



Portfolios for pressing plants as collected, lightly made of two strong 



cloth-covered pasteboards (17 in. xu in.) with encircling straps and 



handle, and to contain 3050 sheets of paper. Specimens as collected 



are put at once into these, and time is thus saved in making large 



collections, e.g. on a journey in new country. 



Collecting tins or vasculums of various sizes for bringing plants home 



for further study. When slung on the back, the 



hinges should be on the lower side of the lid, 



and the bolt should slide downwards to fasten, 



otherwise it is liable to work loose. Small 



specimens are best carried in small round- 

 cornered tobacco or tooth-powder tins, not among 



large ones in a general vasculum. 



Presses for drying pi.; each of two outer 



frames of \ inch iron rod 17^ x 1 1^ inches, filled 



in with stout wire netting soldered to the iron. 



The papers lie between these frames and the whole is strapped with two 



stout straps to obtain the pressure".
