Hewitson amost always reset all his butterflies & took off the tickets, & never replaced them! But my private Coll[ection] would have nothing on the insects but the little round tickets for locality. Fully nine-tenths of the Moths were from Sarawak I expect.
W.W. Saunders had a curator when he bought all my insects & you could probably find who he was from Mr. Saunders’ Son or from Stevens.
