    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.

Palmer collected widely in the southwestern U. S. and in northern Mexico for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Geological Survey of California, Peabody Museum and Gray Herbarium of Harvard, and the Smithsonian Institution (U .S.

  • The Amebican Species of Canavalia and Wenderothia
    THE AMEBICAN SPECIES OF CANAVALIA AND WENDEROTHIA. By C. V. PIPSB. IHTRODTJCTIOK. In connection with economic investigations of certain species of Ccmavalia, the writer became impressed with the paucity of our botanical knowledge of the genus and the great confusion existing. As a result of these conditions, it seemed desirable to attempt to monograph the genus. In this effort he received the cordial aid of Col. Sir David Prain, until recently Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, who requested Mr. S. T. Dunn to assist in the work. The Old World species, all of which belong to the section Eucana- valid, have been treated fully in a recently published paper (Kew Bull. Misc. Inf. 1922: 129-145. 1922). The task of elucidating the New World species was left to the writer. In connection with this work he desires to express his cordial thanks for the loan of herba- rium material to the following gentlemen: Col. Sir David Prain, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Dr. Hermann Ross, Staatsherbarium, Munich; Dr. B. L. Robinson, Gray Herbarium; Dr. J. M. Greenman, Missouri Botanical Garden; Dr. N. L. Britton, New York Botanical Garden; Dr. W. A. Setchell, University of California; Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, Field Museum of Natural History. HISTORY OF THE GENERIC NAMES PROPOSED. Some writers use Canavali as the generic name, but Canavalia is preferred by most. The latter has been included in the list of nomina conservanda of the International Code of Nomenclature. The data regarding the important proposals of the genus and its synonyms are given chronologically. Canavali Adans.

  • Coahuila, 1937–1947
    22 Contributions of Walter W. taylor to the arChaeology of Coahuila, 1937–1947 Leticia González Arratia The first archaeological project developed, organized, and designed for the state of Coahuila in northern Mexico was the U.S. National Museum’s Coahuila Expedi- tion, directed by Walter W. Taylor.1 The project required several seasons of field- work, followed by a long period of inconclusive analysis. The focus of this chapter is Taylor’s site work in northeastern Coahuila.2 The geographical point of reference is the settlement of Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila, where Taylor established his base camp and planned his surveys and excavations. The work can be divided into three stages, which collectively became known as the Coahuila Project (Taylor 1988:19). The 1941 field season, Taylor’s third visit to Coahuila, can be distinguished by the intensity and goals of his fieldwork. The three stages of work are: • Stage 1. Pre–Coahuila Project Summer 1937: Reconnaissance of the area north of Cuatro Ciénegas to locate archaeological sites. Summer 1939: Reconnaissance of the area west and south of Cuatro Ciéne- gas to locate archaeological sites. 373 Leticia González Arratia • Stage 2. Development of the Coahuila Project January–May 1941. Excavation of previously recorded caves or shelters considered to have been used as habitations in the mountain drainages near the Valley of Cuatro Ciénegas. June 1941. Reconnaissance of additional sites west and northeast of the Valley of Cuatro Ciénegas. Surface material was collected, and several burial shelters were excavated. • Stage 3. Post–Coahuila Project September 18 to November 16, 1947. Reconnaissance in other parts of Coahuila for sites analogous to the Cuatro Ciénegas sites (Taylor 1947).
