McAndrew, Robert (1801-1873), father of J. J. MacAndrew and grandfather of V. W. MacAndrew, was a collector from Liverpool and travelled much in Spain and southern Europe with a lot of deep-sea dredging. His collection, which also contained the collections of H. Adams and W. H. Benson, was left to the Cambridge University Museum of Zoology, UK, though there are large series in the Royal Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh, UK. McAndrew, Vernon (1880-1940), grandson of R. MacAndrew and nephew of J. J. MacAndrew, bought the latter`s collection in 1918. It contained part of the Marie collection, and the collection of Mrs de Burgh in 1919. He left his collection to the British Museum (Natural History), London [now the Natural History Museum, London, UK]. Some material is also held within in the Melvill-Tomlin collection in the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, UK. Many glass slides of specimens from this collection (taken before the bequest) are offered in The Vernon William MacAndrew (British 1880 - 1940) Slide Collection, also in this sale.
