Index to University of Kansas Publications, Museum of Natural History, Volume 1 1946-1950

This volume brings together the first half‑decade of scholarly output from a university’s natural‑history museum, presenting a meticulously organized index of every paper, field report and taxonomic note published between 1946 and 1950. Behind the scenes, a team of curators and researchers compiled entries that span short observations on pocket gophers to extensive revisions of bat genera, each linked to its original article and illustrated with the figures that accompanied the research. The index is arranged alphabetically by scientific name, with quick‑jump guides that make it easy to locate information on any group from amphibians to rodents.

Listeners will discover how the collection captures a vibrant period of discovery—new species from Mexico, fossil turtles from the Pliocene, and detailed studies of prairie voles, owls and garter snakes—all recorded in concise, data‑rich papers. For students, historians or anyone fascinated by mid‑century North American wildlife research, the volume serves as a handy road map to the museum’s foundational literature, pointing the way to deeper explorations of each subject.
