I would be most grateful if you would post the following inquiry to your
list serve membership:
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.
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.
If any of this rings a bell with anyone, I would be most grateful if you
would let me know.
