General:
copy of tape 747 FW-ASCH-7RR-0747 consists of frog calls which were used in conjunction with a presentation entitled "Amphibean Calls and Their Significance," presented by Charles M. Bogert at an August 1954 Florida meeting of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. The calls are grouped into four units: (1.) Warning calls, mating calls and screams of fright; (2.) Calls illustrating north/south trends, generally showing that higher-pitched and faster calls are in the South; (3.) Calls showing correlation between pitch and size of frog. (Larger frogs have lower-pitched calls.); and (4.) Sample calls of individual species of one genus in one region, illustrating the great diversity. Three pages of notes pertaining to the calls have been placed in the new tape box. FW-ASCH-7RR-0748 and -0749 are dubs of FW-ASCH-7RR-0747. Dr. Bogert also "conceived, narrated and documented" an important Folkways Record: Sounds of North American Frogs (now SFW45060), four years after this tape was made and which includes some songs from this tape, but many additional songs also. See other sheets for track list and durations.

Type:
Collection descriptions

Black-and-white photographs
Date:
circa 1911-1919, 1924-1958
Introduction:
This finding aid was digitized with funds generously provided by the Smithsonian Institution Women's Committee.
Descriptive Entry:
The papers of Isaac Ginsburg chiefly document his career with the Bureau of Fisheries from 1922 to 1956. There is extensive correspondence concerning the fishes of the Gulf coast, ichthyological nomenclature, and Ginsburg's war work, as well as Bureau of Fisheries affairs. The collection also contains materials concerning Bureau investigations that were probably sent to Ginsburg in connection with his research. This material includes notes and logs of William W. Welsh and Samuel Frederick Hildebrand on their investigations in New England and the Gulf of Mexico and photographs, probably of Hildebrand's work in Central America and the southern United States.

Correspondents include Elbert H. Ahlstrom, Allan Hancock Foundation, American Museum of Natural History, American Society of Ichthyologists And Herpetologists, William W. Anderson, Edgar L. Arnold, Jr., Richard H. Backus, Edward W. Bailey, Reeve M. Bailey, Thomas Barbour, John Lafferty Baugham, Barton A. Bean, Henry M.

Historical Note:
Isaac Ginsburg (1886-1975) was born in Lithuania and came to the United States as a boy. He studied ichthyology at Cornell University and after graduating, spent a short time as an aid in the Division of Fishes, United States National Museum, in 1917. In 1922, he received an appointment with the Bureau of Fisheries and worked there until his retirement in 1956.

Ginsburg's chief scientific interest was the marine fishes of the Gulf of Mexico. Though at one time he intended to prepare a large work on the shore fishes of the Gulf, necessary revisionary work on those groups took up most of his time. In addition, he worked on the problem of species and their subdivisions. Other duties at the Bureau of Fisheries included handling of the correspondence concerning marine fishes and war work in connection with the coordination of fisheries in 1943-1944.
