There are mounted Geotrupidae collected by Klemperer in Britain, S.Africa and Jamaica in the collection of Birmingham Natural History Society. Geoff Hancock tells me that he worked with Klemporer's niece Carol at Bolton Museum before she moved to Kendal Museum as a Curator and 'Due to our time working together in Bolton when her uncle Hugh Klemperer at Birmingham University died (1989) she recommended to the family to contact me about his collection. By this time I had also moved (in 1985) to Kelvingrove, Glasgow, and accepted the donation. It was small in terms of museum quality material including brood balls from the various geotrupids and coprids (some African species) whose social behaviours he studied and on which he published. But it is an interesting set of specimens. (MD 10/03, 8/20)
