Abstract
THE difficulty of discovering the resting place of some important specimen has been encountered by most systematists, and doubtless justifies the “blue-pencilled” word which the author may or may not have hinted at in the title of this little book. Here about 1,700 entries give names of persons the fate of whose collections is briefly indicated.
Where is the—Collection?
An Account of the various Natural History Collections which have come under the notice of the Compiler, Dr. Charles Davies Sherborn., between 1880 and 1939. Pp. 150. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1940.) 3s. 6d. net.
