A note on the catalogue card for Z 15142, signed DAR [D. Roe] and dated April 1965, reads: 'Most of these are from the Henry Bury Collection, of which the major part is at the Willmer House Museum, Farnham, Surrey, and selected material at the Geological Museum, Exhibition Road, S. Kensington. Bury's own M.S. catalogue, in which all the numbers marked by him on these flints should be traceable is with the material at Farnham.'
