content: Diary of hymenoptera, other insects, plants, etc. seen or taken by A. W. Stelfox, 1921-1965

content: This field book contains field notes of collections Stelfox made from 1 May 1921 and 30 May 1926 in Ireland. Most specimens collected were insects, primarily hymenoptera. Other specimens, for example a bat, were also collected. Stelfox lists the name of the specimen, date collected, sex, quantity, sometimes remarks on the weather (ex. “a wettish, dull day!”), location, and sometimes specific type of environment. By 1924, his lists contain more narrative style descriptions, although continue to remain brief. Some specimens in 1926 were collected by R. A. Phillips. Localities include, but are not limited to Malahide, Portmarnock, Rush, Wicklow River, Arklow,and Spanish Point.

content: Correspondence, notes, drawings, expense documents, news clippings, and ferry and rail time tables are arranged alphabetically by either correspondent or scientific name of specimen. There appears to be no specific rule which determines where a particular item is filed, and correspondence with individuals is often filed by scientific name. This collection division includes material on the collection and description of specimens, professional correspondence on fossil whales, and information on collecting localities. Some items of note include a geological cross section of Calvert formation at Chesapeake Beach, Maryland; 5-page list of Miocene fossil specimens from Virginia and Maryland, noting location, scientific name, and additional geographical information, and news clippings discussing the construction of a rail line through Washington DC/Maryland area. Specimen collecting locations include Virginia (along the Potomac and Nomini Cliffs), Maryland (Chesapeake Beach, Patuxent River), and Canada. There are numerous references to Cretacean and whale fossils.

content: This field book documents Goldman's field research and travels in Mexico between 1 October 1892 and 4 April 1893. The notes are a narrative account describing plant, mammal, bird, and reptile specimens observed and collected, routes traveled, and other observations during his trip. Goldman uses both common and scientific names to refer to specimens. Examples of frequently noted specimens include mice, rats, voles, shrews, squirrels, raccoons, and rabbits, lizards, bats, sparrows, and pine vegetation. Many more varieties of specimen are included. Goldman includes notes on how common specimen are, number of specimens taken, weather, environmental conditions, and elevations. Locations include but are not limited to San Luis Potosi, Salazar, Larma (Campeche), Tlálpan, Ajusco, Huitzilae, Amecameca, and Sierra de Pachuca.

content: This journal contains field notes documenting Richard Blackwelder's research in Puerto Rico, Saint Thomas, Guadeloupe, and Trinidad from 18 September 1935 to 26 December 1935 to study insects, especially beetles. This journal contains 122 pages. Blackwelder also travels to Saint Kitte, Saint Croix, Antigua, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, and Barbadoes during this trip, but does not seem to collect at those locations. Blackwelder provides descriptions of flora and fauna, especially birds, 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 Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe, and Trinidad are included and are annotated to show locations of stations and route taken. Stations visited include station 43-130 (43-64 Puerto Rico, 66-68 Saint Thomas, 69-91 Guadeloupe, 92-130 Trinidad). Index of locations is included in the back. Index of insects is also included. Sketches of plants are included in the back. Examples of localities Blackwelder visited includes Ciales and Olinpo (Puerto Rico); Grande-Terre (Guadeloupe); and Sans Souci and La Brea (Trinidad).

content: These field notes were created as part of the ‘Smithsonian African Expedition, Under the Direction of Col. Theodore Roosevelt (1909-10)’. This volume is comprised largely of specimen lists and location information. The specimen list includes collection numbers 1859-3094. Location information is generally inserted on a daily to weekly basis and includes references to landmarks, geographic features, and altitude. The geographic coverage spans what was then known as British East Africa, Uganda, Congo Free State, and Sudan. Following the specimen lists, there are twelve numbered pages that include pasted-in itineraries, maps, and a caricature of Theodore Roosevelt that was taken from a newspaper. A map insert can be found in a back pocket of the volume.

Notes are a narrative description of mammal and bird specimen observed and collected interspersed with specimen lists from locations visited. Flora, including agricultural crops, of various locations is also described. Locations include Victoria, Jaumave, Durango, Cocorit, Ocoroni, Chacala (Durango), Mazatlan, Batamotal, and other locations. Goldman keeps a very detailed record of travel, route, and locations visited and also comments on which specimen are common, altitude of localities, weather, and other observations in these notes. Specimen numbers for mammals range from 12418-12679. Specimen numbers are not consecutively listed.

content: This folder contains maps showing distribution and abundance of Mottled Petrel based on at-sea observations for the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program. Because there is no explanatory sheet in the folder, the dates (February 1963 - August 1965), creator, and interpretation of the maps are based on other items in the same series, Series 27 in SIA RU000245. 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. 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 provide additional information on interpretation of the maps.

There appears to be no specific rule which determines where a particular item is filed, and correspondence with individuals is often filed by scientific name. This collection division includes material on the collection and description of specimens, professional correspondence on fossil whales, and information on collecting localities. Includes report on fossils found in Miocene formation in Maryland; Patagonian beds; and tidal data for Baltimore and Chesapeake Beach, Maryland for 1905.
