Collecting Outfit. 



1. A hammer ; preferably a bricklayer's hammer, like 



the one figured; cost, about $ 0.75 



2. A cold-chisel ; cost, about 0.25 



3. A basket to carry specimens in; a basket rather than 



a bag because specimens from different localities 

 can be kept separately more easily by a layer of 

 paper and are not so apt to rub and grind against 

 each other and spoil as when put in a bag. 



4. Plenty of old newspaper for wrapping, and 



5. A large, substantial lunch. 



NOTE. — It is of course understood that this is a beginner's outfit. Need 

 will soon be felt for a compass, note-book, clinometer, tape measure, Locke 

 level, topographic maps, etc., etc.
