By: Salmon, John Tenison, 1910-1999

Reference: PA1-q-204

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. Page 35 has views of a science exhibition organised by the Wellington Branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand held in the Wellington Town Hall, 12-14 April 1948. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Description: The cartoon shows a wasp with large pointed ears and large Hobbit feet. A voice asks 'So...why do they call him Bilbo?' In December 2013 Dr Darren Ward and his fellow researchers of Landcare Research in Auckland named newly discovered wasp species after characters in Tolkien's books. The names appeared in Zootaxa for 2013 - a journal for zoological taxonomists. Ward said the newly discovered wasps were small, short and stout - just like Hobbits. S. bilboi, S. frodoi, S. meriadoci, S. peregrini, S. samwisei and S. tolkieni were named after characters Bilbo, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam and Tolkien himself. Hobbits also had big feet and big ears, according to Tolkien. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
