Abstract:
This field book contains field notes of collections Stelfox made from 23 September 1943 to 13 August 1944 in Ireland. Most specimens collected were insects, primarily hymenoptera. Other types of specimens may have been collected. Notes on botanical specimens observed and possibly collected are also included. 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 Glen of Aherlow, Bellina County, Rye Water, Royal Canal, Saint Anne’s, Lucan, Clondalkin, and Athdown.
