    PART II PERSONAL PAPERS AND ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS Allen, Paul Hamilton, 1911-1963 Collection 1 RG 4/1/5/15 Photographs, 1937-1959 (1.0 linear feet) Paul Allen was a botanist and plantsman of the American tropics. He was student assistant to C. W. Dodge, the Garden's mycologist, and collector for the Missouri Botanical Garden expedition to Panama in 1934. As manager of the Garden's tropical research station in Balboa, Panama, from 1936 to 1939, he actively col- lected plants for the Flora of Panama. He was the representative of the Garden in Central America, 1940-43, and was recruited after the War to write treatments for the Flora of Panama. The photos consist of 1125 negatives and contact prints of plant taxa, including habitat photos, herbarium specimens, and close-ups arranged in alphabetical order by genus and species. A handwritten inventory by the donor in the collection file lists each item including 19 rolls of film of plant communities in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The collection contains 203 color slides of plants in Panama, other parts of Central America, and North Borneo. Also included are black and white snapshots of Panama, 1937-1944, and specimen photos presented to the Garden's herbarium. Allen's field books and other papers that may give further identification are housed at the Hunt Institute of Botanical Documentation. Copies of certain field notebooks and specimen books are in the herbarium curator correspondence of Robert Woodson, (Collection 1, RG 4/1/1/3). Gift, 1983-1990. ARRANGEMENT: 1) Photographs of Central American plants, no date; 2) Slides, 1947-1959; 3) Black and White photos, 1937-44.

    Agriboard Agriboard, lumber substitutes made from plant fibers, are revolutionizing how plant wastes are used and has potential for far ranging impact on agriculture, forestry and conservation. Typing agriboard into a search engine brings up nearly 100 web pages. Three of these pages have been reviewed and are offered here for your examination. The first is an in-depth report from Environmental Building News, Vol. 4 (No. 3) and offers an excellent, balanced overview on the use of wheat straw lumber in homebuilding. The second article reviewed by EBL, Environmental Building News, Vol. 4 (No. 6), is a brief commentary on this topic including reaction to use of this material by an architect. Third is an excerpt written by David Morris, from the book, 'Non-woody Fibers and the Future of Rural Economics," edited by J. Janick., discussing general use of plant fibers for building materials. This last entry is of particular interest as it discusses cellulose for construction, from non-timber sources, in a broad sense. That opens the door to using native prairie grasses and other native plant resources to provide income from restored land . This is especially important for land which would otherwise be converted to cash crops and for areas which have lain fallow for several years but recently lost set aside status. It has also been pointed out that most areas loosing set aside status are eligible for organic certification. Production of agriboard fiber has potential to stand alone or easily dovetail with organic agriculture to aid conservation.

  • Experimental Taxonomy, 1930-1950: the Impact of Cytology
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Joel Bartholemew Hagen for the degree ofDoctor of Philosophy in General Science (Biological Science)presented on 31 July 1981 Title: Experimental Taxonomy, 1930-1950: The Impact of Cytology, Ecology, and Genetics on Ideas of Biological Classification Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology, ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy. Advocates of this "experimental taxonomy" believed that cytological, ecological, and genetic techniques would provide a rigorous, objective methodology to replace the traditional descriptive methods of taxonomy. Between 1930 and 1950 a number of impressive experimental taxonomic research programs were instituted. Despite the enthusiastic activity in experimental taxonomy, the introduction of cytological, ecological, and genetic methods into taxonomy was problematic. Taxonomists who borrowed from other biological fields were not taking methods and ideas from fully "mature" sciences. Cytology, ecology, and genetics were themselves going through major theoretical and methodological changes. The integration of methods and ideas from a number of complex, semi-autonomous biological disciplines was difficult. Experimental taxonomists, themselves, disagreed on the form this integration should take. Finally, although experimental taxonomy proved to be a viable and fruitful line of research, it did not constitute a complete reform of general taxonomic
