Notice: As nearly as we can tell, Larson ceased collecting for the University of Calif. African Expedition at this point and began collecting specimens on his own for sale to museums. The specimens we thus purchased from him are listed under acc. 8139 & start with T.L. Orig. No. (1) 1564. [See next page.] Although we've been able to obtain any specific information from Larson as to where the accessions should be divided, the above choice is made on the following evidence: 1. We received almost every specimen collected by T.L. up to this point. 2. We received only a small fraction of his specimens collected after this point. 3. Almost all of the early specimens (cont. next page).
