Then cut off the handle so that it will be as long as a cane. This makes a most convenient tool for turninir ov«.r logs and breaking up rotten wood and digging around Htumpa and among the dead leaves. A pair of fine curved pointed collecting forceps is also necessary for picking up the small species. Small glass bottles should be carried ajs the small species are apt to get lost in the dirt and slime ,f put mto the same receptacle as the larger ones. It IS better not to put the email species in alcohol as they are collected, as they are then killed at once with the animal more or less extended. If put in a dry bottle and eft a few hours they wall withdraw into their shells, leav mg the aperture clear and «t for examination. This is especially necessary with the Pupidae. where the arrange- ment of the apertural teeth is a specific characteristic. Uor the larger species tin cases of a convenient sise to slip readily into the coat pockets are most convenient. Several boxes and a number of vials should always be carried, so that specimens from different localities may be kept separate. For the fluviatile species it is necessary to have a dipper. This If ni^ide from an ordinary tin dipper, by removing the bottom and substituting «aie of fine wire cloth. By re- moving the end of the handle.' the dip,»er can be slipped on the end of a cane or pole when in use This IS U8rful not only for reaching the larger specimens from the shore or boat, but especially for si
