In this line various papers have been printed by the writer and other members of the staff, a [[strikethrough]] list of which [[/strikethrough]] reference of which will be found in the [[strikethrough]] Appendix [[/strikethrough]] Bibliography. (Section IV) Among them is a paper forming part G of Bulletin 39 of the U.S. Nat. Museum, containing [[strikethrough]] comprising [[/strikethrough]] instructions for collecting and preserving mollusks, the arrangement, outfit, and cataloguing of the collections and the construction of the dredge.  This it is thought will be of use to collectors beginning work on the Mollusca, and will save much clerical work in writing out such instructions at short notice as has been required frequently in the past on the starting of expeditions undertaking natural history work.
