Edgar A. Mearns correspondence, 1883-1915
The collection consists entirely of photocopies of handwritten letters. The first letter, dated May 17, 1883, is from Albert S. Bickmore, founder and superintendent of the AMNH, concerning Mearns's proposed donation of a collection of birds. The second letter is from curator J.A. Allen, discussing details of the specimens. Other correspondents include James P. Chapin, Frank M. Chapman, L.P. Gratacap, C. Hart Merriam, Jenness Richardson and Anthony Woodward.
William Thomas Blanford correspondence, 1899
One handwritten signed letter in which Blanford discusses the taxonomy and nomenclature of the barasingha (Cervus duvauceli), the swamp deer of northern India and Nepal. Blanford claims "barasinga" is the correct spelling; he also mentions the Tibetan argali or mountain sheep (Ovis ammon hodgsoni).
