This was the French collector and disgraced financier C.A. de Calonne
(1734-1802). His collection sold by the dealer George Humphrey, see:

articles that compose the ... museum of natural history collected by M. de
Calonne ... all of which are now exhibiting at Saville House ... previous to
the sale thereof. London. pt. 1, viii, 84pp.
