PhotographsAll photographs in "Butterflies and Skippers of North America" were taken by Robert W. Poole and are specimens in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. The staff of Nearctica.com, Inc. would like to thank Drs. Robert Robbins, John Burns, and Scott Miller for permission to photographs specimens in their care. Butterflies of the Eastern United States (Opler)Museum collections surveyed by the compiler were the National Museum of Natural History (Washington, D.C.); Frost Museum, Pennsylvania State University; and the E. O. Essig Museum, University of California at Berkeley. Other state institutional collections were surveyed by contributors. Acknowledgments: The contributors should receive most of the credit for the many days afield and the many hours spent compiling records. The names of the many collectors or naturalists who provided data to state compilers or for recently published state treatments are not all included, but their contributions were crucial of course. Dr. John M. Burns (USNM), Dr. K. C. Kim (Frost Museum), and Dr. J. A. Powell (Essig Museum) kindly allowed me to examine collections under their care. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provided logistic support. All work by the compiler was carried out during non-duty hours. ALABAMA: J. Brill, *C. T. Bryson, O. Chermock, J. J.

Butterflies of Western USA and Northern Mexico (Stanford and Opler)We received data from over 320 individuals, reviewed over 300 books and scientific papers, and examined material in nearly every public and private collection in western North America and a few major Eastern ones (see next paragraph). This research will continue. The following list includes only those who contributed over 10 data points, and major publication authors (see References). First, we wish to thank our family members who have provided support in many ways in addition to specific records: Katharine, Sandra (deceased), Nora, Tim, Chris, Linda, Scott, Laura, Dwight, Maxine (deceased), Dorris (deceased), Gail, Margot, Bill, Winifred, and a few faithful dogs who mainly got in the way. And unnamed friends, students, birders, 4-H members ad infinitum. We thank all contributors, but especially the following observers, collectors, curators, and authors, some of whom are no longer living: J.K. Adams, B. K. Akey, C.Albright, C.C. Albright, R.J.
