Raper and Erdos, G. W. "The macrocysts of the Dictyosteliaceae", 1973
Scope and Contents
There are two boxes of manuscripts and typescripts of articles published by Dr. Raper and other scientists in fields of research relating to the Aspergilli, Penicillia, and Dictyosteliaceae. Several of these were composed in association with his colleagues and students. Notable authors here are John T. Bonner, Dorothy I. Fennell, Lindsay S. Olive, and Charles Thom. In some cases correspondence and annotated reprints accompany manuscript material. Files are identified by author, title, and date (if known). A few files contain typescripts of MA or PhD theses. Photographs used for text figures in published articles may be found in Series 13: Photographic Material. File names in Series 13 bear the same titles as the corresponding manuscript files of Series 2 wherever possible.
One sequence (Box #8) consists of manuscripts and typescripts of Dr. Raper's landmark study of the Dictyosteliaceae published in 1984. Files are arranged in the sequence of chapters appearing in the published text. In Part II "Systematics," files are arranged alphabetically by family and genus name, again as appearing in the text. See Series 13: Photographic Material for photos (mounted and unmounted) for text figures. The mounted photographs (Box #27) form a complete series of text figures.
