| Description | Pasted inside the first pages, a typed note from Dr Isabella Gordon:
'This catalogue is partly the work of G Samouelle(?); he was employed from 1821-41 so that the thin writing as on p.1 may be his or that of a clerk of his time. The supplementary entries and the later ones from 540 on are in Adam White's unmistakable round hand - c.ff White's signature in General Library. 21/xii/49'
A pencil note on the following page records:
'WE Leach's collection was acquired in 1826. Since this register begins with the entry of Leach's specimen of Limulus, is is probable that it dates from 1826.'
Largely, but not wholly, duplicated information from DF/ZOO/219/63/1
It is possible the information may also be taken from the Entomology Annulosa registers. |
