The slides in this case document various species of lizards, snakes, frogs, and toads, as well as desert habitats. However, the slides themselves do not actually correspond to the titles on the inventory. As the majority of these slides are dated 1948, they are representative of Norris's work in desert ecology during his studies at UCLA.gallery2016-06-07T11:43:29-07:00Alex Moore6cd84a9f7efd71803c15562e48a509db9e0bb5a6The first case contains a chest of slides from Norris's slide collection, along with a handwritten inventory.
