Abstract

This field book documents specimens collected by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns during the Mexican Boundary Survey. Entries include collection numbers, initial identifications, dates collected, and geographic location data. Geographic coverage begins in Animas Valley, New Mexico and continues through Arizona and California. Geographic data ranges from general (e.g., Nachoguero Valley, California) to more specific (e.g., Head of Barbacomori Creek, Arizona, altitude 5400). Also included are four loose-leaf inserts with handwritten notes, three of which appear to be lists of plants collected.
