Abstract

IN many branches of science, and more especially in zoology, palæontology, anthropology, and anatomy, it is often necessary to make illustrations of irregular and intricate objects, which must be true to scale and accurate in detail. It has been found that photography does not fulfil the requirements, and the illustrations have in the past been made by accurate freehand drawings. Such drawings require a large number of measurements to be made, and if a high degree of accuracy is required the work entailed is very considerable. If the specimen being drawn is of a fragile nature, considerable risks are involved because of the amount of handling entailed.
