Camp Taxidermy .—For the rough work carried out in camp, few imple¬ 
ments are required ; a skinning knife, skin scraper, scissors, and a pair of 
forceps or pliers, a small saw and a hone are practically all that is needed. 
There are many good preservatives now sold in powder or liquid state and 
they may be safely used, though perhaps the old-fashioned lime, salt, alum 
and wood ash methods will be found the most satisfactory, and with 
these all native skinners are familiar. A Kurpi , such as all moochies 
use, is invaluable for scraping skins, and we may aid a few butcher’s knives 
for skinning.
