Transcription Notes:
Changed the over 13 "[[illegible]]" items originally entered on the top half of the first page to the actual words or [[?]] where I couldn't read them either. For future reference, use [[?]] instead. Also, the transcription instructions (see button on any page) also cover how to handle things you can't make out and other markup. - @raferrante Changed "Gorizinni" to Porizonini. Same with "Platylatus" to Platylabus. I've found Google and other sources very helpful in figuring out species names. Porizonini is a species of hymenoptera, the focus of Stelfox's studies. - @raferrante
