content: This field book is a diary from 14 June to 14 August 1929 documenting Graham's field expedition to Mupin and field collecting trips in the Suifu (currently Yibin) vicinity. Graham provides a narrative description of daily activities including amounts and types of specimens he and associates collected or purchased. Graham collected mammals, birds, insects, snakes, and possibly other specimens. Mammal numbers range from 256-307; mammal skin numbers include 258. Graham and colleague comment on how poor the collecting on Mt. Omei (currently Emei Shan) is this year. Locations in which Graham collected include Kiating (currently Leshan), Yao Gi, Mupin (currently Muping), Mount Omei, and modern day Yibin. Graham often includes elevations of localities where specimens were found. Descriptions of some specimens are occasionally provided. Graham also collects artifacts and makes ethnological and anthropological observations during this trip. No scientific names are provided.

content: This field book is a diary from 16 July to 3 December 1933 documenting Graham's field expedition to Wen Chuan Hsien (currently Miansi?). Graham provides a narrative description of daily activities including amounts and types of specimens he and associates collected or purchased. Graham's descriptions in this journal are more detailed for mammal specimens collected, often providing the common name, elevation, date, and location where the specimen was collected. Some similar information is recorded for insects. Mammal numbers range from 1171-1262. Graham also collects birds, reptiles, and possibly other types of specimens. Locations beside Wen Chuan Hsien include Dong Men Wai, Sa Ping Kuang, and other locations.

content: Journal of Facts in Natural History

content: The journal is the first of two volumes and documents the entomological work of Benjamin Dann Walsh, 1860-1866. Pages are numbered. The journal begins with a table of contents indicating on which page each year's entries begin. The first page of journal entries is headed with "Journal of Facts in Natural History." Entries are dated and include a range of details. Some summarize or cite publications. Most entries are narrative in style and describe collecting in the region of his home. They begin with a description of where specimens were found, discussion of environment including vegetation, followed by detailed descriptions of insect specimen (combination of type, stage of development, sex, appearance of anatomy with measurements and coloration, diet, sometimes behavior). Entries also include lists of specimens (number, type, and location); discussion of lab work; and personal observations with quotes from other students, observers, and journals, often relating to economic aspects of entomology. There are also attached and loose sketches of insects. Includes pasted news clippings about insect infestations. At the end of the volume are notes from the proceedings of the Rock Island County Branch of the Kansas Settlers Society of Chicago Illinois, June 12-25, 1856, as well as a list of correspondents. Locations include but may not limited to sites in Illinois. Locations are often specified by county, town or property owner's name, without indicating state.
