Abstract

Gabrielson's more or less daily journal from 1 January 1945 to 30 December 1946 containing lists of birds observed and collected, notes of professional activities such as meetings, conferences, and field investigations. Notes on fish, porpoises, seals, and other mammals are also included. Gabrielson's bird lists also include notes on abundance or commonality. Localities encompass a wide geographic range as Gabrielson traveled often, but much of the diary is about his investigations in Alaska. Localities include but are not limited to Ragged Island (Maryland), Horn Point (Maryland), West Key (FL), Port Tobacco (MD), Saint Paul (AK), Zapadni (AK), and King Island (AK).
