Four years after joining the National Museum of Ireland as an assistant naturalist working on hymenoptera, Arthur Wilson Stelfox (1883-1972) had gained standing in the community as an authority in several areas of Ireland's natural history. He was placed in charge of the Museum's complete zoological collections. In this role, he was often called upon to identify specimens uncovered at prehistoric sites. However, despite his many responsibilities, Stelfox made time for field trips to observe and collect his own specimens. Join in with other volunteers to transcribe this diary of excursions taken between January 1940 and mid July the following year.
