Frank Leverett's Field Notes

It seems there should be an online directory of these somewhere, because it seems people valued Frank Leverett's observations enough to both type them up and save them, for the most part. Also, you can tell by the URL's that they are encased in a massive system, all the same style, so somone somewhere must have a directory to tell how to find any of the thousands of field notes available.



 I, however, have found no directory, and even these, I found virtually accidentally, as they pop up on Google searches occasionally. When they do, I snare them, but I may have missed a few, and certainly there are more out there.



 They make wild reading. He was an intense guy, and noticed everything. That's one thing I liked about him!
