註釋
D.C. Graham went to China as a missionary and became curator of the West China Union University Museum in Chengtu after taking his degree in anthropology and religion. He is mainly known among East Asia specialists as an expert on the religion and folklore of the Chuan Miao in Szechuan but he also collected hundreds of thousands of zoological specimens for the US National Museum during his summer vacations. The volume contains, besides a short biography and a listing of his publications, his diaries from these collecting trips; they were not intended for publication but meant as background information for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. which supported his trips. They give a vivid picture of the travelling and collecting situation in Southern China and the Tibetan borderland.
