Abstract:
This field book contains field notes of collections Stelfox made from 10 July 1936 to 24 July 1938 in Ireland. Most specimens collected were insects, primarily hymenoptera. Other types of specimens may have been collected. Stelfox lists the name of the specimen, date collected, sex, quantity, sometimes remarks on the weather, location, sometimes specific type of environment, sometimes remarks about which specimens he would like to collect, sometimes additional information. Localities include, but are not limited to Ratoath (Ráth Tó) Bog, Carnsore Point, Curracloe, Bryanstown, Glenasmole, Kilkea Park, Devil Glen, Bushmilles, and Kippure Lodge. 'R.C.L.P' following a name signifies that specimen were seen and verified by D. R. C. L. Perkins, F.R.S. A photo and pressed plant are inserted at page 278. The photo is a “view from near Peaton looking w. across loch long, dunbartonshire 14 July 1938” taken by Stelfox.
