The Museum attached to it was used tohouse the 'official collections of plants,birds and possibly even minerals for theofficial naval collections at the Haslarhospital' (see m. 3(2&3), 162 - Specimensfrom the Beagle voyages). Clearly, from theitem on Admiral Sir Edward Belcher (supra),geological material was included in theircollection.SHERBORN, p.67, records that 'All coll. cameto B.M. in 1855.' The BMNH (1904) History of- the collections (pp.91-92) confirms that in1856 a large donation of botanical materialwas received there 'from the Royal NavalHospital, Haslar', but no confirmation hasbeen found that all the Haslar collectionsFig.4.

Indeed Greenwood (1888;reprinted a. 3(5), 326-333) still includedthe Hospital, the special features of theMuseum being 'Anatomy, Natural History etc'under the curatorship of Dr W. Reid R.N.Further information about this Museum andthe fate of its collections would be welcomed.BMNH. 1904.
