Context (Amendments / updates)
From Dr Louis Cobbett, an English pathologist and University Lecturer in Bacteriology, 1907-1929.

The 1946-7 Annual report notes 'Cobbett, the late Dr L.: Large collection of archaeological and ethnological objects, mostly from Oceania and Africa, but including pottery vessels from Peru and Mexico'.

The register notes 'Cobbett Coll.' for 1947.270-275; 1947.279-301; 1947.407-8 and 'Cobbett bequest' for 1947.476- 485; 1947.620-625; 1947.638.
However, 1947.5- 18 is recorded as 'd.d. [donated] Dr L. Cobbett' suggesting some of the collection may have been gifted before his death in March 1947.

Records have been annotated to follow the details given in the register but the exact timing and status of the donation and whether it was gifted or bequested is not fully clear.
