Description: | The two steel office cupboards contain demonstration material used in teaching entomology, mainly agricultural or economic.
Many of the specimens were obtained from within the existing collections of the museum and remounted or placed in boxes or tubes to make them suitable for demonstration purposes. King, Bishop, Cuthbertson, etc material was used for this purpose.
Only those specimens suitable for (returning to) the main collection series will have HUG numbers attached to them as they are incorporated. This will generally be those with locality data or some other attribute which makes them more suitable for reference. A selection of teaching material will be retained and probably even enhanced with new material as appropriate. Put together by Dr R.M.
