Abstract

This field book contains field notes of collections Stelfox made from 30 July 1938 to 20 December 1939 (with two notes from 29 January and 2 April 1940) 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 Bunduff Strand, Glenade, Killoughtin, Talbotstown, Glenasmole, Riverdale, Loch Damph, Sallins (Na Solláin), and Athdown. 'R.C.L.P' following a name signifies that specimen were seen and verified by D. R. C. L. Perkins, F.R.S. A letter from Irene Briscole is inserted at page 269. A postcard from Professor Paul Marechal to Stelfox in French with identifications and a postcard of Damph House and Loch Torridon are inserted at page 173.
