Description: | A large collection of skeletons, skulls and other bone material from the Zoology Museum, mostly acquired by D'Arcy Thompson. The collection includes examples of mammals, reptiles, fish, birds and crustacea. Some of the specimens were mounted by D'Arcy and his assistant Alexander Rodger, others prepared for him by Gerrard & Son and some bought already prepared. Some specimens were exchanges from other museums, some came from zoos and animal importers such as London Zoological Society Gardens and William Cross of Liverpool. As well as complete skeletons (such as gorilla, penguin, gibbon, mouse deer) there are also skulls of many more animals (including thylacine, lion, dugong, seal, musk ox, camel, elephant, albatross, crocodile), feet of horse, ox, pig, birds' wings and sternum and many other examples. | Format: | skulls bone material skeletons | Subjects: | Zoology | Source: | University of Dundee | Address: | 5-7 Hawkhill Place,
