Description: | A variety of insects from different orders.
There are a few microscope slides of the genitalia of tineid moths that were probably reared from fungi. If the specimens are found that they were extracted from, that would hopefully supply the data on these specimens. The Lepidoptera and some Parasitica (Hymenoptera) have been incorporated into the main series in room 214a; other orders in 213.
James P. Brock collected at local sites, such as Cadder Wilderness Plantation, Mugdock, Failford (Ayrshire), etc. He was a former student/staff member of the university and at least part of the time helped Roy Crowson with his work. He developed his own interest in Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera. He took a PhD in Parasitica and currently (<2001) is natural history curator at the Horniman Museum, South London. Collected by Jim Brock in 1963-66 while at the university; formerly stored in Attic Room 1. | Subjects: | Zoology | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Address: | University of Glasgow,
