Dear all
These bryozoans are certainly from Aberdeen, and may be part of the H.A. Nicholson Collection.
Best wishes,
Patrick

Dear Helen
I am "cleaning" up collections here in Oslo, and I have come across material borrowed by a now dead professor, and not returned yet to the lending museum. I am working on this now...
But I have come across material labeled "DEPT.GEOL.MIN.ABDN" - sounds like Aberdeen to me (see also enclosure).
Who could I contact regarding this?
