This fifteenth volume of Irish naturalist Arthur W. Stelfox's personal record of collecting hymenoptera specimens around the Irish countryside, this time in and near Athdown, Royal Canal, Rye Water and Phoenix Park. His collection, gathered over decades and eventually donated to the Smithsonian Institution, provided the research material he and the next generation of entomologists would use to study changes in hymenoptera species over time. Please help us to transcribe his detailed notes. Zooming in where his pencil writing is faint on some pages will be a great help.
