AQUATIC COLLECTING TRIP 



1. The object of this work is to learn how to study and 

 collect animals in the field, in their natural environment. 



2. The field work is conducted on the same g'eneral plan as 

 the laboratory work. 



3. Each student is required to do individual work. 



4. A full record of your observations is to be made in 

 your note book while in the field. 



5. Collect representatives of all kinds of animals found and 

 large numbers of such forms as especially instructed to secure. 



6. Absences do not excuse you from the work of these trips. 

 The work must be made up as early as possible. This means 

 inconvenience both to student and to instructor, therefore do 

 not miss a field trip if it can be avoided. 



7. Tardiness counts as absence on these excursions, as the 

 class starts promptly on the hour. 



8. For aquatic collecting each student should have the 

 following equipment, the first two items of which are furnished 

 by the laboratory : 



(1) A dip-net 



(2) A quart fruit jar with lid and rubber 



(3) A pair of forceps with string attached 



(4) CAR FARE 



(5) Notepaper and pen or pencil. 



9. In the laboratory before the trip you will be given 

 definite directions for note taking, and all field notes must 

 conform with these directions. 



10. The use of the dip-net will be demonstrated in the field 



16
