Dr. Ruhle and Mr. McKee spoke from notes on the above subject outlining in detail in each case how publications could be obtained.

In California arrangements can be made by the park natural lists through the State Librarian to borrow publications specially needed for reference. Advertisement in publishers' trade magazines asking for references on a certain subject will bring in by mail great amounts of information in the form of book catalogues and individual quotations from dealers. Probably the best publication in which to advertise is the Publisher's Weekly. Continued >>> |
