The British material, all groups, was transferred to Glasgow Museums (GLAM) at the same time. ***NB Correspondence regarding non-British material should be directed to the RBGE (E)*** Information on the British material can be founds at: http://collections.glasgowmuseums.com/mwebcgi/mweb?request=record;id=533630;type=801 Reference: Patton, D (1954).
