SOME NEW PROCEDURES FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF ANIMALS AND THE USE OF PUNCH CARDS IN THE WORK OF THE ZOOLOGIST
Abstract
The initial phase in the identification of animals amounts to an examination of certain designated parts of the body as a result of which the peculiarities of their structure are established. The result of this work should be a record, consisting of paired figures. The first of these is the number of the series, the second is the number of that feature which is possessed by the certain part of the animal's body. The identification process amounts to the selection of that combination of Arabic figures which were recorded as the result of the preliminary examination of the animal. In many cases it is not necessary at all to have data on all the organs of the animal. It may be sufficient to have only part of the features present for an identification. It is necessary to strive for this in compiling the determinative tables for this genus.
