Abstract

The journal documents Andrew Caudell's collecting and experiments, January 28 - November 17, 1891. Title page states that the journal covers January 28, 1891 to February 10, 1892, but entries after November 17th are missing. At the beginning of the notebook is a key used by Caudell to indicate if the dated entry covers habit, description, experimental, of interest, collecting, time of appearance, hibernation, and / or importance. Entries are dated and give extensive descriptions of insect appearance (coloring, anatomy, state of development) and environment where collected. Most collecting seems to occur in the vicinity of his home.
