Notes:  Bulletin of the Museum of New Mexico.  A procedure manual for how to treat specimens according to (then current) Museum of New Mexico standards.  Probably most useful as a historical document, rather than current guidelines.   A 16 page booklet, 8½ x 11, now in plastic sleeves.   I would call this RARE since there are no other copies for sale (but with 3 copies…? Probably not as rare as I thought).
