Practical, step-by-step instructions cover the collection, skinning, preparation, and mounting of birds, mammals, and insects. Procedures describe measuring specimens, removing flesh and bones, treating skins and bones with preservatives such as arsenical paste and turpentine, wiring and padding techniques to recreate natural form, and finishing methods for eyes, feet, and tails. Advice includes stain removal, drying and storage, case mounting, and tools and materials needed, with procedural cautions and measurements to guide accurate, long-lasting taxidermy work.
