Part of the collection of Mr Frederick William Lucas, F.L.S., F.Z.S.Lucas probably established his vast collection of osteological and ethnographical items over a significant period of time and from a wide range of sources, including taxidermists, sales rooms / auction houses and personal contacts.

· 9 November 1925 – selection of ’96 items (but more specimens)’ removed by Lucas (other items appear to have been removed during period Sept. 1922 – Nov. 1925). Remaining items (and cases containing them which belonged to Lucas) offered to Museum as a gift ‘without condition or reservation’. Approx. 1,800 osteological and ethnographical items – logged as R.2778 in Museum’s accessions register.
