Abstract

This field book contains field notes of collections Stelfox made from 12 June 1936 to 8 July 1937 in Ireland. Most specimens collected were insects, primarily hymenoptera. Other types of specimens may have been collected. Stelfox lists the name of the specimen, date collected, sex, quantity, sometimes remarks on the weather, location, sometimes specific type of environment, sometimes remarks about which specimens he would like to collect, sometimes additional information. Localities include, but are not limited to Bellina, Sligo County, Castlegal, Streedagh Point, Glenasmole, Clara, Kippure Lodge, and Kilkea Castle. 'R.C.L.P' following a name signifies that specimen were seen and verified by D. R. C. L. Perkins, F.R.S. This field book also includes a letter from Florace Donisthrofe to Stelfox with identifications, 1936, inserted between page 10 and 11. Pressed plant is included on page 173.
