Abstract

A private collection of 903 vials containing mostly aquatic macroinvertebrates is presented from Dr. Norman Herbert Anderson, Professor of Entomology at Oregon State University from 1962-1995. The majority of these specimens were collected from multiple freshwater streams during his research at Mount St. Helens (WA, USA) soon after the May 18, 1980 eruption. This collection also includes 15 vials containing specimens collected by Luis A. Fusté from the Muddy River (WA, USA) on March 29, 1980, less than 2 months before the eruption. The vast majority of these vials include a label indicating the sampling location, the date collected, and taxonomic identification.
