Abstract
skin side. The animal skin is now placed on the nmounting board. The hind legs are stretched out and back, feet down. The front legs are forward and parallel. Mounting pins hold the skin in position so that the skin dries in the desired shape. The label is attached above the right hind foot in such a way that the strings holding the label wvill not twist. A student working on mammal museum mounts of this kind will find that he has embarked upon an interesting hobby. There are thousands of collectors in the United States. Many are anxious to trade mammals skins which are indigenous to their regions. By collecting and trading these mammalogists are able to build a fine collection and build a wealth of knowledge. Indeed, teachers may use skin preparation projects to identify future biologists. If the student holds his nose with disdain, eliminate him. If he uses a scalpel wvith a gleam in his eye, he may be the student for wvhom we are searching.
