Abstract

When I became curator of the insect collection at the University of Louisville in 1964, about half of the John H. Lovell collection of bees had been incorporated into the institutional collection, donated by Dr. Harvey B. Lovell (son of J. H. Lovell). The remainder of the collection, including many specimens collected by Harvey Lovell, was donated to the University by Eleanor Lovell Irwin and John H. Lovell II upon the death of their father Harvey in November , 1969. Part of this material was still at the old Lovell home in Waldeboro, Maine. With the help of a travel grant from Dr. John A. Dillon, Jr., Dean of the Graduate School, I visited Waldeboro in August, 1970, and brought to Louisville the final portion, consisting of 40 Schmitt boxes containing about 8,000 specimens.
