<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We have a reasonable collection from Barton as well as a number of other specimens that are not clearly located. Most come from the Lanfine collection, purchased via Butler of London in the 1920s,
or material that has been in the collections from ye olden days (probably pre-1850s). The Lanfine collections are from a lecturer of Botany at the University of Glasgow here who donated them to the Hunterian. Thomas Brown, Laird of Waterhaughs and Lanfine;
(1774-1853) (as he was better known) had his collections donated to us in 1875, 1896 and 1897 from his sister. There is no record in his catalogue as to how he acquired his collections. The collection numbers at least a few hundred specimens from what I have
seen in the catalogue – sadly not online as yet. Mostly gastropods and bivalves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Charles Lyell and many notable geologists have close connections with Barton. It seems that the fossils were of such fine preservation that they have found their way into many collections outside England.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
