From the finding aid (SIA RU000435): "The Palearctic Migratory Bird Survey (PMS), a survey of migratory birds, their ectoparasites and the viruses they carry, was conducted in the eastern Mediterranean from 1966 to 1971. The primary PMS operation site was in northern Egypt. Surveys were also conducted in Cyprus and Israel. The PMS involved scientists of the Smithsonian Institution, the United States Naval Medical Research Unit, and Yale University, and was funded by the Army Research Office, the Smithsonian Foreign Currency Program, and the Smithsonian Research Foundation. George E. Watson, Chairman, Department of Vertebrate Zoology, and Curator, Division of Birds, National Museum of Natural History, was Principal Investigator". Surveys were also conducted in Uganda.The forms show the observed bird species, the date of collection or processing ranging from Fall 1968 to Spring 1969, the location, the name of the preparator, and data such as sex, age, weight, fat, molt, in particular noting the presence or absence of ectoparasites or viruses, as well as additional remarks on the aspect of the bird's body and plumage. The way the bird was processed or disposed of ("skin, skelton, alcoholic, discard') is noted. The forms are numbered: A-62 to A-177, A-10822, A-19554, alcohol; B-5166. I-313 to I-410; S-67 to S-120, skins; X-32 to X-144, skeleton
