CR Billups

Submitted by Ray Morris on

While researching the origins of the Diptera specimens held in the Leicestershire County Collections, it became apparent that much of the basis for the collection came from purchases in the earlier 1900s.  Indeed, Leicester Museum (caretake of the original collection) had appealed in the Ent Record of 1925 for collections as they had so few local specimens!  

One of the collections obtained apparently came from CR Billups who seem to have collected mostly in the Ashurstwood area of East Sussex amd also Woking.  I would be interested to know about this collector!
