Wrapping Materials

Some specimens are more fragile than others, and these should be handled

with special care. Several sheets of newspaper should always be kept in

the collecting bag, and each specimen should be wrapped individually as

it is collected. Such precautions taken in the field will usually

prevent prized specimens from being broken or otherwise damaged. In

addition to newspaper, it is wise to carry a supply of tissue paper in

which to wrap more fragile specimens.
