content: This folder contains maps showing bird distribution and abundance based on at-sea observations from February 1963 through August 1965 for the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program. Distribution and abundance data are represented by symbols, numbers, and colors added to printed maps of the central Pacific Ocean. Each map records data from one calendar month, with one map for each month of the year. No year information is shown on the maps, although an explanatory page in the folder says that the maps represent observational data from February 1963 through August 1965. Each map may therefore represent data collected during that month in one year or more than one year. Each symbol (square or circle) on the map represents one day's observations; symbols are color coded to represent number of birds per hour of observation. The map legends and explanatory sheet in the folder provide additional information on interpretation of the maps.

content: The volume documents the field work of Paul Bartsch on nudibranchs during the Philippines Expedition aboard the U.S.S. Albatross, as well as detailed field illustrations by Kumataro Ito [伊藤, 熊太郎 ]. Also includes news clippings. Inside the front cover is a poem by Bartsch,"count that day lost whose low descending sun finds no new nudibranch described, drawn and done." The illustrations were created on individual sheets of paper and pasted into the volume. They appear to be watercolor and are highly detailed. The artist wrote notations in Japanese alongside images about specimen appearance,collector, and time of collection. Paul Bartsch also wrote notations on the images listing dredge location number (e.g. D139) and page numbers in the volume for relevant entries. Entries are headed with initial specimen determination, dredge location numbers, and followed by a narrative description of specimen characteristics (color, shape, measurements) and observed behaviors. It is unclear where specimens documented in the volume currently reside. The illustrations were the basis of illustrations in related publications. At the end of the volume is a list of what appear to be specimen numbers headed with "Museum del Ateneo Manila."

content: In this item, Peters records collecting events taking place between 1949 and 1950. Some pages seem out of order in this unbound notebook. At the beginning of the item is a Gazetteer of location names with descriptions. Most of these locations are within the Mexican state of Michoacan. Peters writes almost daily entries which often include detailed descriptions of the plants, soil, and surrounding environment, travel time, elevations, and air and water temperatures when applicable. Also included in these accounts are lists of reptile and amphibian specimens collected. Other materials include lists of photos taken, supply lists and laundry lists. Many of the specimen entries towards the latter part of the field notes are prefaced with sketches of specimen with citations from published works. There are many of what seems to be detailed examinations of specimen, some include illustrations. Two possible citations are to the work of Edward Harrison Taylor and Hobart M. Smith. Includes some typewritten notes like "Key to Sceloporus to be found in Jalisco and Michoacan".

content: This folder contains maps showing distribution and abundance of Diomedia nigripes (Black-footed Albatross) and Diomedia immutabilis (Laysan Albatross) based on at-sea observations from February 1963 through August 1965 for the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program. Distribution and abundance data are represented by symbols, numbers, and colors added to printed maps of the central Pacific Ocean. Each map records data from one calendar month, with one map for each month of the year. No year information is shown on the maps, although an explanatory page in the folder says that the maps represent observational data from February 1963 through August 1965. Each map may therefore represent data collected during that month in one year or more than one year. Each symbol (square or circle) on the map represents one day's observations; letters, numbers, and colors added to the symbols represent species and number of birds of each species. The map legends and explanatory sheet in the folder provide additional information on interpretation of the maps.

content: Record of materials during summer cruise 1943, R. A. Bartlett, Sch. Morrissey

content: This field book is part of a collection of field notes by Robert (Bob) A. Bartlett (1875-1946). Bartlett was born in Brigus, Newfoundland. He spent much of his career at sea in the Arctic, taking part in and later leading expeditions in the region. He commanded several vessels, but eventually became captain of his own vessel, the "Effie M. Morrissey" which conducted annual expeditions from 1926 to 1946 making hydrographic studies and collecting specimens for a number of museums across the United States, including U.S. National Museum, Museum of Natural History of Philadelphia, American Museum of Natural History, National Geographic Society, among others. These notes refer to specimens collected on the Effie M. Morrissey during a summer cruise in 1943.

content: This journal contains field notes documenting Richard Blackwelder's research in Montserrat, Antigua, and Saint Kitts (Redonda was also visited, but no collecting occurred there) from 13 July to 27 October 1936 to study insects, especially beetles. Staphylinidae is one common family of beetle collected. This journal contains 120 pages. Blackwelder provides descriptions of flora and fauna of his surrounding environment. He also includes elevations, weather information, and other observations. Abundance of insect genera is noted when applicable. Also, description on how specimens were obtained (ex. in cow dung; rotten fruit) is included. Maps for Montserrat, Antigua, and Saint Kitts are included and are annotated to show locations of stations and route taken (copies of maps on tracing paper inserted in the back). Stations visited include station 262-314 (262-271, Montserrat; 272-295, Antigua; 297-314, Saint Kitts). Examples of localities visited on these islands include Woodlands (Montserrat), Hodge Point (currently Beggars Point) (Antigua), and Canyon Village (Saint Kitts).“General Index” on pages 106-118 and “Index to Insects” on pages 118-120.

label: Abstract

content: This field book is a diary kept by Stejneger during his trip to Nikolski (Nikol’skoye) Bering Island (Ostrov Beringa) to study fur seals in 1908 (this year is questionable). The notebook is dated 31 August to 08 September. Stejneger's notes provide a daily account of his experiences, including observations of the seals and their environment, and of the processes of the killing of seals and collecting of seal skins. Many of Stejneger's notes are reflective, and he comments on the massive killing of fur seals he witnesses.

content: The handwritten journal of Edmund Heller documents the American Museum of Natural History China Expedition, 1916-1917. Entries cover June 4, 1916 to September 17, 1916. Sometimes entries have headings if including stories, or lists of information for a specific location (i.e. birds, vegetation, rocks). Includes a hand drawn map of Bamboo Creek. Throughout notes, Heller takes considerable time to describe areas visited, flora and fauna observed, people encountered (including cultural traits of Asians), expedition activities, route traveled, food (listing vegetation and descriptions of food in markets), agriculture, communities, and accommodations. Notes describe travel from Washington, with travel times, meetings with colleagues, language, and weather. Includes notes about quantities and type of specimens collected (sometimes with descriptions of abundance or location) and prepared, and include types of mammals including tigers, mongoose, as well as birds. Localities described in detail include Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, Foochow, Swatow [Shantou], Hainan, and Yunnan, China.
