His entire British collections were purchased in 1853 from Mrs. 

 Stephens. It contained about 90,000 specimens. Stephens, in his 

 " Manual of British Coleoptera," gives an account oi his collection. He 

 states that it contains "the original specimens described in the 'Coleoptera 

 Britannica ' of Marsham." It is difficult in some cases to identify these 

 types, but most of Marsham's specimens have a very small, round, white 

 ticket attached to them. According to an old sale catalogue now in the 

 Museum, Marsham's collection was sold by auction at 38, King Street, 



* The Micro-Lepidoptera are in the collection of the Rt. Hon. Lord
