tograph of the skull before the horns are removed should be 

 taken, to accompany the specimen. Weathered skulls, partic- 

 ularly when the full set of teeth is present, are often of great 

 value when their exact locality is known. 



Specimens should be labeled with the exact locality where the 

 animal was killed, the date, sex, and the collector's name. The 

 length of the animal before skinning, from nose to root of tail, 

 the length of the tail vertebrse, and length of hind foot are valu- 

 able measurements and should be taken if the time and con- 

 veniences are available. 



Bats are always important and may be preserved entire in 

 spirits, or in a weak solution of formalin; a small incision in 

 the belly will allow the fluid to enter the cavity and aid in pres- 

 ervation. Alcohol and formalin must not be used at their full 

 strength. Add to commercial alcohol (95 per cent) one-fifth 

 its volume of water. Add to commercial formalin 15 times its 

 volume of water.
