Description: | A number of elements make up this collection, which is in 17 large store boxes, 5 postal boxes and one drawer.
There are sets of identified bugs laid out as identified, sometimes by experts in various groups (such as A. M. Massee).
Others are series of pest species, mainly from Carse of Gowrie, and sampled from raspberry, strawberry and a variety of top fruit.
Diaries relate to those which have notational labels in some of these batches.
A number of boxes contain specimens from Black Wood of Rannoch and are part of the survey for which material already exists in store boxes in Attic Room 1 (Zoology department, Glasgow University) combined with Ron Dobson's collections from the same area (they went together to Black Wood Rannoch).
The number of insects other than Hemiptera is small and they are either pests or odd specimens from Black Wood of Rannoch, for example. There are micrscope slides of aphids donated later by Hill's family after he died. Donated by Alexander R. Hill (1919-2006), retired lecturer (Glasgow University). Acquired by him during career as applied entomologist, mainly working on fruit crops. | Subjects: | Zoology | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Address: | University of Glasgow,
