| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A compendium of information on the collection and preservation of arthropod specimens. The first part of the book is a detailed account of collecting and curatorial techniques. The second part covers classification with keys to classes and orders, with brief descriptions of each. A 50 page glossary follows. The first two appendices give formulae for making up preservation fluids (AGA, Barber’s, Embalming(!), Essig’s Aphid, Hoyer’s and KAA), and giuidelines for mounting small soft-bodied specimens (aphids etc, thrips and mites). The remaining two appendices concern SEL’s identification service in the US. Can be downloaded from SlideShare. |
