There are some extremely old-looking insect pins through some of these insects - it is possible that they are ex Hunter collection. It has been suggested that a number of drawers were deprived of their cabinet in pre- Graeme Kerr days. Throughout the collection there are scattered a number of old-pinned specimens. Whether or not they could be ever be reliably re-united to a Hunter provenance is debateable.
