Physical Description:

Three field notebooks of Harlow B. Mills, former director of the Illinois Natural History Survey. These notebooks document collecting trips made to Cuba, Haiti, and Jamaica from May 6th — June 6, 1950. Each collecting event has an associated number that is on labels of specimens in the INHS Insect Collection. Most of the events are of Berlese funnel extractions done by H.B. All specimens collected were collected by Mills as well. Each collecting event documents the location, date, and other biological information of each sampling event. The collecting event numbers of each book are as follows:

Cuba: C-1 — C-12 (INHS Accession Numbers 49672–49683) (June 1 — June 6, 1950), ii + 96 pp.
