Description
Nightly counts of moths and other insects from light traps run by volunteers, one of the longest such records in the region.
Provenance
Deposited by Bellbury Polytechnic Library, from its own collections. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. Only fragments could be read. They are kept because nothing else of the work survives.
Preservation
