Description: | Various British beetles.
Joseph Joynson Collins (1865-1942) came from Lancashire but worked as entomological assistant at the Hope Department, Oxford. A number of specimens of his can be found in various museums. These specimens now in Glasgow are all identified and many are from Oxford localities. Each one has a pink printed label saying 'Jos Collins, Oxford'. Presumably they were donated to Accrington Museum at some time before it was closed. The collections were dispersed and various boxes and cabinets acquired by local naturalists of whom Geoff Hosie was one (see Biology Curators' Group Newsletter, 1(10): 25-29). Taylor, M.A. (1978). Biology Curators' Group Newsletter, 1(10): 25-29). Part of G. Hosie Collection but originally came from Accrington Museum, 1950, when it closed. | Subjects: | Zoology | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Address: | University of Glasgow,
