Research and responses: Note that only a tiny fraction of JW Flower items are also marked as being related to the Pitt Rivers founding collection. Whilst it is possible that they did originally form part of the founding collection, were brought from London in 1884 and then placed with the geological (or other) collections at Oxford University Museum of Natural History before eventually being transferred to the Pitt Rivers Museum it seems odd that they were not all recorded as being related to the founding collection. Most are attributed to being donated by Flowers to OUMNH and being transferred from there [AP 23/07/2009]
