Description
"Owing to radical cuts in its budget, the museum was able to afford no curator of insects until WPA project 597 came to the rescue by providing a college trained entomologist who is equipped to take complete charge of more than 175,000 insect species contained in Natural History Museum, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA."
