Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Collection of Zoological Specimens for the Victoria Memorial Museum: Zoology
The most profitable course for a beginner under such conditions. Is to endeavour to collect specimens of every thing that comes under his notice. Beginning with the commonest. The mere fact of locality gives most things zoological an enhanced value. Many species vary under the geographical influence of their distribution. Sometimes broadly. Sometimes so minutely that it takes the closest study to detect the differentiation. The form in evidence may or may not be identical with others from a well studied locality. But in either cm they are valuable. As the demonstration of a lack of variation in a locality is of as much scientific importance as that of its occurrence.
