Description: | Glasgow Police (preprinted on a white gummed label). Marten (China) 127 (written on the label). MANU [Glasgow Police] [first half 20th century] [Glasgow] [Scotland] One of 313 reference specimens of animal hair representive of a collection which originally encompassed at least 176 species. The cover slip is rectangular. There are two sectioned fibres which appear to be guard hair and six fibres of under coat. This sample of hair is prbably from the stone beech or house marten *Martes foina*, but the pine marten *M. martes* and the Japanese marten *M. melampus* cannot be ruled out. The Sable *M. Zibellina* would probably not be a choice since the pelt would be too dark, and the yellow-throated marten *M. flavigula* too light. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
