I am very curious to know where Tinkham's collection ended up after his death due to his former association with the UA collection. I vaguely remember at one point his collection was kept at his residence, maybe in his garage, and sustained some serious dermestid damage. I might have a copy of a letter from him stating the condition of his personal collection and will try to dig it up.

Tinkham collection respository One more question about loans from the Pleistocene. I have a box of katydids borrowed long ago by Ted Cohn that were to be returned to Tinkham. Where did Tinkham's collections go after his death? Many thanks in advance. Mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Mark F.
