Summary

Labels range from many different years and localities, some of which include the United States, Costa Rica, Guatemala, China, Canada, Greece, Peru, Chile, Hungary, and Japan. Collectors are also wide-ranging, but include Robert Ridgway, L. Belding, George Shoemaker, John Xantus, George Suckley, R. J. Pollard, Titian Ramsay Peale, Spencer Fullerton Baird, and Edward J.
