APPENDIX II 209 



Birds." Paintings of rarer birds possibly to be seen. I have a series copied 

 from Dresser's "Birds of Europe," and liave found them invaluable for show- 

 ing to the natives. Some novels. 



Camera in case, and legs. Patterns are endless and constantly improving. 

 If only one is taken I would recommend a half-plate size with the best lens 

 procurable. A stand is indispensable for photographing plants, nests, &c., at 

 close quarters ; this should be provided with a tilting-table, so that the camera 

 can be fixed at any angle. Instantaneous films, double films, and isochro- 

 matic films in proportion of 8.1.1. Iron box with lock, in which the films fit 

 easily, but without shaking, or the envelopes will cut through during a long 

 journey. If weight of box be objectionable, take tin-cases holding six dozen 

 films each. 



Wynne's exposure meter and box of re-fills. 



"Holiday" lamp and candles; half a dozen yards of black and red calico 

 are useful at times for making a " dark room." 



Extra rubber-tube for shutter. 



Extra glasses for camera and lamp. N.B. — Personally test the latter with 

 isochromatic films before you leave home, and trust to no dealer. 



Wheeler's exposure register.
