<p>During his Third Expedition, this time to Siam and north, de Schauensee, primarily an ornithologist, collected fishes for the Academy as a special favor to H. W. Fowler. A fieldbook record of the list, with dates and localities was kept, with 4237 specimens noted. A rough pencil map of the localities involved was included at the back of the book and a short letter written to Fowler was pasted in the front. Fowler says these fish never reached Philadelphia. &#8220;The stevedores in New York Harbor drank the alcohol and dumped the specimens overboard.&#8221; De Schauensee again collected fishes on his next trip to Siam, in 1936, to replace the lost specimens. Some few notes are in an unidentified hand, a few others made by Fowler.</p>
