I have not found any evidence to conclusively identify this preparer of excellent slides of whole insects and spiders. Inquiries to the New York Microscopical Societ indicate that Watt was not a member. All we know is what this mounter included on their slide labels:

Lived in Brooklyn, New York

Was active in 1937

Prepared whole, flattened insects and spiders

Figure 1. Examples of microscope slides by A. Watt. All known slides with dates place their production in 1937.

If anyone has any good ideas about the identity of A. Watt, please contact me at brian.stevenson@uky.edu
