Abstract

This field book is part of the animal research data of the Division of Zoological Research of the National Zoological Park (U.

The present field book is a copy of the preceding (see MODSI9638), albeit with each leaf prinetd on one side only. It is inscribed as a "Notebook received from S. Waas, 27/1/72" and stamped as belonging to Wolfgang P. J. Dittus. It includes field notes "going West to East" dated from January 20 to 25, 1972, with lists of plants.
