CANSDALE, F.E.

Submitted by admin on

A collection of British Lepidoptera and Coleoptera formed by ‘the late F.E. Cansdale’ was sold at Stevens’ auction rooms on 30 June 1925. The Catalogue lists: ‘384. A stained and polished pine cabinet of 30 drawers enclosed by panelled doors, on plinth... containing a named and arranged collection of British beetles, mostly carded, many species’ and ‘389. Six store boxes of British beetles’. (I am grateful to Eric Gowing-Scopes for bringing this catalogue to my attention). (MD 1/O2)
