AB -  A method for collecting faecal samples from s a l mammals over a continuous period ml Introduction The apparatus described has been constructed especially for mammalogists or parasitologists wishingto collect faecal samples, which may containeggs or other stages of parasites, from small mammals over a period of 24 hours or more. Description and operation of the apparatus The faecal sampler (Plate I(a), Fig. 1) was devised and built with materials which were relatively inexpensive and durable. The apparatus, measuring 26 x 14 in, consists of a motor-driven revolving aluminium drum, a free running roll of 0.005 in thick polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C.) transparent sheeting borne on a steel shaft and a 14x 14 in sheet of aluminium forming the surface between the drum and roll of P.V.C. All three components are supported on a main duralumin frame, the steel shaft with the P.V.C. roll being held in position by two tapered locking pins. The drum winds the P.V.C. across the aluminium surface forming a collecting area, above which a cage, containing the experimental animal, is suspended. The test cage, 12x 12x 12 in, was constructed of 3-inch mesh tinned-woven wire of 0448 in diameter and is supported above the
