I would be most grateful if you would post the following inquiry to
your list serve membership:<br>
<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"
size="+1">I am writing a memoir of my former post-doc advisor,
Roderick K. Clayton, a professor at Cornell University, who was
an ardent and highly accomplished, amateur lepidopterist. Over
the years he built up an exceptional collection of butterflies,
which I believe was donated to a university in the last few
years. Unfortunately I do not know which, and I am trying to
track this down, just for my own writing.</font></p>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="+1">Also, and
perhaps more noteworthy, in his later years, he also wrote a
substantial monograph with micrographs, based on his own research,
on the skipper family, in which he described the genitalia of up
to 600 species, as a sound way of identifying the species, which
are often so similar in outward appearance. Again, I don't know
where this ended up, but perhaps in the same place as the
butterfly collection.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"
size="+1"> If any of this rings a bell with anyone, I would be
most grateful if you would let me know.<br>
