Abstract

These entail behavior and appearance including colors and measurements with related dates. Includes sketches of specimen anatomy (some with leaves), notes, edits, used as a receipt book for Mrs. Dyar, 1878. Locations are in New York (Bellport, Brookhaven); Virginia (Chain Bridge); and Florida (Palm Beach).
