Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Distributional Status of Bats in Kansas
Much remains to be learned about the distribution of bats in Kansas. Interested persons are encouraged to communicate with the Museum of Natural History, The University of Kansas, Law rence, 66044, or the Division of Biological Sciences, Ft. Hays Kansas State College, Hays, 67602, and to send specimens for study. Bats may be preserved most easily for identification by immersing them in formalin (u. S. P. 40 per cent, available at most drug counters) that is to be diluted by the user: nine parts of water to one part of formalin. In order to prevent decay of the viscera, the abdomen should be injected with preservative by means of a syringe or else a slit three-quarters of an inch long should be made in the abdomen so as to allow preservative to enter the abdominal cavity. After prepared and immersed in formalin for at least 24 hours, specimens may be sealed in a plastic bag along with a piece of cotton; ab sorbent cloth, or paper toweling that is soaked with preservative, and packed in a sturdy container for shipment.
