Abstract:
This field book is a diary from 5 December 1933 to 6 July 1934. Documented are specimens collected and purchased for USNM and problems with shipments, the death of one of Graham's aborigine collectors and activities of Graham's other aborigine collectors, and a brief trip to Kiating (currently Leshan).
