Request for cooperation
Dear Graham,

on behalf of Dr Ken Christiansen, who is an authority on northern American Collembola, your cooperation would be appreciated :

"We are presently revising The Collembola of North America North of the Rio Grande. We have no specimens of Isotoma delta.

The photographs appear to be this species. If you still have specimens we would very much like to see them. Please send them to : Kenneth Christiansen, Box 5875 Grinnell College , Grinnell IA 50112 USA.

Thank you . Kenneth Christiansen. "
