Extract

The insect collection of the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology, at present comprising some 250,000 specimens, had its inception in the insect collection of University of Toronto Biological Museum. This collection was started by Professor William Hinks, first Professor of Natural History, when he established a natural history museum in 1853. At that time various collections of insects, mostly confined to exotic material, were donated or purchased.
