label: Abstract

content: This folder contains maps showing distribution and abundance of Phaethon lepturus or White-tail Tropicbird [White-Tailed Tropicbird] 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 shows 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, with number of birds observed that day written inside the symbol. The map legends and explanatory sheet in the folder provide additional information on interpretation of the maps.

content: Western United States, 1918; Field diaries

content: Materials include a field book and loose notes compiled by Alexander Wetmore, May - November 1918 in the western United States, while working for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Bureau of Biological Survey. He was the vicinity to obtain information on breeding waterfowl and the economic value of bats, for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Bureau of Biological Survey. Entries are chronological and listed by date. Entry styles change through the field book. Initially entries are bird counts listed by common name and quantity, sometimes with attending descriptions or questions; they are interspersed with descriptions of behaviors and appearances of individual male and female birds interacting, sometimes with small sketches. There is a series of descriptions and sketches of immature birds (days old); detailed descriptions of nests; terse descriptions of environments. By early July, entries detail bird sightings, listing times of day, sex, and temperature as well as bird lists. These different types of entries continue to be intermixed through the rest of the text. At August 20th entry, information entered discusses damage to crops in the western United States. Some entries include listing a claimant, location, type of claimed damage, methods used to scare birds away suspected of doing the damage; and possible solutions. Rice crops are mentioned. Information is also entered from the back of the field book. This includes information about film (listing locations), specimens, and supplies and expenses. Sites include locations in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.|Loose sheets include many of the same kinds of entries and information. Also includes notes on Lawrence, Kansas and De Witt, Arkansas from November 1918.

content: This item consists of 36 black-and-white photographs of grasses by André Goeldi from his work with grasses in Pará, Brazil. The first 36 photographs are each affixed onto a board and covered by a thin sheet of paper. The name and location of the plant and other notations in Portuguese are sometimes included on this sheet. Sequential numbers are affixed above most photographs (1 through 34). Some photographs indicate a separate numbering system that appears to correspond with Goeldi's list of grasses. The following photographs are not affixed and do not bear any identifying information. The majority of the photographs each depict a single specimen on a dark background. A ruler is sometimes included to indicate size. One photograph depicts an individual, perhaps Goeldi, standing among trees and grasses.

content: R. A. Bartlett Greenland expedition 1939

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. These field notes are from a trip to Northeast Greenland. The expedition was conducted in cooperation with the New York Zoological Society and the Smithsonian Institution. (On this trip was established the Morrissey's farthest north for the East Coast, at 77° 15′.) The field notes are dated from July 6 to August 31, 1939, and are mainly related to bird specimens’ collections, especially birds' stomachs.

label: Abstract

content: The 2 notebooks document geological fieldwork completed by August Foerste in Kentucky. Notebooks are undated. The first notebook includes entries that are headed with location information (combination of county, town, geological and other landmarks, sometimes name of owners, distance from) followed by descriptions of terrain. Sometimes these include geological sections with measurements, composition and color of layers (including type of stone), and presence of fossils. Includes lists of numbered (sometimes alpha-numeric) locations with descriptive narratives. There are two loose inserts dividing the notebook. The second notebook includes the same type of content. Entries were recorded from the front and the back of the notebook.

Sometimes pages are headed with route information. Cooper's entries are lengthy and detailed, describing daily work, individuals with whom traveled, observed terrain including soil composition, travel routes, vegetation (sometimes referred to by scientific name), weather, and campsites. Entries first cover 1853 and are followed by an index of collections listing date, birds, fish, plants, and minerals. This is followed by a list of plants collected in 1854. There are then several papers of notes relating to travel on August 30, 1854. The route covered but was not limited to Fort Vancouver, Calissis Prairie, Cathlapotle River, Columbia River mouth, Willapa River, and Cape Shoalwater.
