Description
Orders of insects frequently mentioned in the folder are Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, and Diptera. Correspondences from resident and corresponding members discussed research expeditions in other countries such as Baliwag, Philippines; Chanchamayo, Peru; and Kenya, formerly known as the East Africa Protectorate. The folder also contains several letters delivered to the American Entomological Society (AES) from institutions and individuals such as the Russian Entomological Society, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Albert I, the Prince of Monaco.
Margaret Akhurst Flood, the daughter of John Akhurst, requested assistance with donating her father’s large collection of Coleoptera and smaller collection of lepidoptera to the AES or to another appropriate owner. Carrie B. Aaron, wife of Eugene Murray Aaron, discussed her travels in Santa Monica, California in her correspondence with Henry Skinner. Among her letters, Carrie B. Aaron asked Henry Skinner to remove her name from the list of associate members of the AES due to a combination of too few women in the society and her lack of interest in the classification of insects.
