Additional Info. : This collection of about 14,000 specimens has as its
nucleus the Hering Leaf-miner Collection of 12,825
specimens. These are mounted on small herbarium sheets
arranged into folders by plant families. The entire
collection is housed in a single steel cabinet
Date last updated : Although the leaf-miners are primarily of Microlepidoptera,
there is a strong representation of Dipterous miners, as
well as those of Coleoptera
Associated Names : It probably constitutes the most important collection of
Palaearctic insect leaf-miners in existence. It contains
type material and slide mounts of leaf-miners. Although not
actively curated, the collection is still added to from time
to time as new material becomes available

Period Collected : 1750-
Size of Collection: Over 8 million
Acquisition Info. : Field collection, purchase, donation, and transfer
Unpublished Docs : Notebooks, etc, index card catalogue, and generic index;
Additional Info. : In terms of species numbers and geographical regions
covered, the NHM Coleoptera Collection must be regarded as
the most comprehensive in the world. It has grown and
developed over a period of almost 200 years, and now
constitutes an enormous database on species distribution and
diversity
Date last updated : The Collection contains important historical collections
such as the Broun (New Zealand) and Wollaston (Atlantic
Island) collections which contain the majority of types
described from these regions. Large European collections,
such as those of Cameron, Sharp, Champion, Rothschild and
Oider, which were made in the 19th and early part of the
20th centuries were donated or bequeathed to the NHM
collection over the years. The Museum has also benefited by
receiving the collections of other eminent coleopterists,
such as Arrow, Jacoby, Blackburn, Clarke, etc, which are
rich in type specimens
Associated Names : The Collection contains a vast amount of material from
former Commonwealth countries, colonies and protectorates,
notably the Marshall Curculionidae and Lewis Collections.
Early this century material from surveys and expeditions,
such as the British India and Central American surveys, and
the Himalayan and South American expeditions, were deposited
in the collections

Period Collected : 1800-
Size of Collection: 500,000
Acquisition Info. : Field collection, purchase, donation, and transfer
Unpublished Docs : Power, Sharp, and Donisthorpe diaries;
Additional Info. : The British beetle collections are strong in both breadth
and depth. Representation of established British species is
almost complete (better than 90%). The average species is
represented by specimens from about 20 to 30 localities, and
the commoner species by specimens from upwards of 100
localities
Date last updated : The geographical spread of the collection is very broad,
but the South and South-east of England and scattered
'classical' collecting localities (in various parts of the
British Isles) are best represented. The Shetland Isles and
Lundy Island are represented by almost complete collections
of the species to be found there. The North of England,
Wales, South-west England, and the West of Scotland are
under represented, as are many parts of Ireland. (The
collection is a British Isles rather than a UK one)
Associated Names : Various British collections donated or bequeathed to the
Museum from the basis for a combined British collection, the
assembly of which is now some two-thirds complete. The most
important building blocks are the collections of J Power, D
Sharp, G C Champion, H Donisthorpe and C E Tottenham. Also
significant are the collections of H C Dollman, T Wyse, E
Saunders, and R O S Clarke. There is also a significant
input of specimens from J J Walker, N H Joy, M I Russel, P M
Hammond, etc

Additional Info. : Leonard Plukenet (1642-1706) was a leading botanist of his
time. His entire collections were purchased by Sir Hans
Sloane in 1716 from the wife of Dr Moore, Bishop of Norwich,
and thus formed part of the collection of the British Museum
at is foundation in 1753
Date last updated : Plukenet's insect collection, probably the oldest surviving
intact - many of the specimens almost certainly dating from
1696 and 1697 - is now housed in the library of the
Entomology department. The collection consists of a single
volume of pressed insects belonging to ten orders, both
adult and immature stages are includes, as well as some
Arachnidea and Crustacea. Apart from the great historical
interest of the collection, it is also of some significance
in assessing changes that have taken place in the British
insect fauna during the last 300 years
Associated Names : Good to poor condition. Historically interesting for
assessing changes in British insects during the last 300
years

body hanging free. identical to specimens in llandudno. not

appears to be the remnant of a larger collection. it could
be fairly old and is in poor condition. between 10 and 20%
of the specimens are damaged. a few specimens have brief
labels. worth noting that in the museum on shelves above
this cabinet there were several boxes (possibly containing
specimens) which could not be reached. also within the prep
room which adjoins the museum there are probably some more
specimens (key not available).
