Description: Album containing many contacts from 35mm film, as well as black and white prints of differing sizes, taken by Professor John Tenison Salmon. He takes particular interest in the flora and fauna of New Zealand, the damaging effects of road construction, erosion from bush felling, and destruction caused by introduced species including deer. There are huge collections of close-up images of various plants (only a few of which are listed above), including flowers, leaves and seeds. He comments on mangrove swamps at Tauranga, which are growing at the furthest point from the Equator possible for them to exist. The other important collection shows various stages in the life cycle of insects and animals, including wetas, katydids, different types of moths, mosquitoes, bees, stick insects, and native New Zealand frogs (Hochstetter's frogs) (p. 91-92). Photographs relating to wetas include scenes of ovipositor tracks of cave wetas in the mud in Waitomo Caves; different varieties of wetas including cave wetas; and weta nests. In 1935 he photographed two Australian species of lizards which he found in the yard of the Dominion Museum, the Australia crested dragon, and the Australian blue-tongued lizard. Many of these photographs were taken on a photomicroscope, including photographs of rock sections (p. 72-75), and photographs of insects and larvae. There are also views of his photomicrosope equipment. Professor Salmon worked at Victoria University, and there are numbers of "contaflex" views of Wellington from his office window, taken to demonstrate the use of various filters (p. 26-29). There are also images of Professor Salmon in his study lab in April 1955; and further images of him in the Entomological Department of the Dominion Museum.
