| Title | Notes on collection of entomological specimens |
| Description | Four folios of unsigned, undated rough ms notes in pencil, almost certainly by Frederick Bates and partly biographical, referring to 'Mr A. R.Wallace and my brother, who were then waiting instruction to join the ship that was to convey them to the Amazon', giving details of the writer's collection over a period of 14 years of entomological specimens, including Ci[n]cindelidae, [Cicindelidae] Cantharidae and Heteromera. Two sheets are white paper, one, smaller, cream, and one blue.
