Description: | A small but quite well-made cabinet containing British Lepidoptera, although none have data.
An old card label on the side proclaims it to be the Foster Collection. Although it is a mahogany cabinet, not oak as stated in the original accession record, this is taken to be a case of mistaken wood identification, not wrong attribution of collector/donor.
Butterflies and the larger moth families are well-represented but there are only 2 drawers of noctuid moths. Large blue and large copper butterflies in the collection may be British-taken examples.
