Description: | *non loc* Dr. A.A. Gray obtained most of his specimens from the Zoological Society of London. Most of the marsupials were given by Dr Stirling of Adelaide University. He prepared both ears from any one animal, depositing one specimen in the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow and the other specimen at the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of London. The latter collection was destroyed by bomb damage during WW2 when the College suffered a direct devasting hit.
Morphological measurements are given for specimens in A.A. Gray's 1907 book, The Labyrinth of Animals.
This collection has been of interest to a number of anatomy and medical researchers in recent times: Professor Fred Spoor of UCL, Professor Anna Lysakowski of the University of Illinois at Chicago and Dr Dan Pender of Columbia University, NY have all examined the collection. | 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: | VERTTETRMAMMAL : CARNMUS : | 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 |
