	Historical Collections of the Botany Department
		During his long life Sir Hans Sloane was famed as a collector, as evidenced by the many people, who left him items from their own collections in their wills.

		Sloane collected other herbaria throughout his life, either by purchase or by deed, and it is a mine of information for the historian of botany and of horticulture.

	Ulster Society - The tax-collector of Killyleagh - Sir Hans Sloane
		The 16 April 1660, is the generally accepted date for the birth of Hans, one of several sons of Alexander Sloane, tax-collector of Killyleagh, Co. Down.
		Most researchers believe - and their belief is supported by local tradition - that Hans was born in Frederick Street, Killyleagh, in the house where the Sloane family resided for many years; the house, alas, has since been demolished and the heritage of Ulster, the poorer as a result.
		Sloane accompanied her, bringing with him 800 plants and reams of notes which he later used to write his Natural History of Jamaica and Catalogue Plantarum Quae in Insula Jamaica.

	Creating a Great Museum: Early Collectors and The British Museum
		Sloane seems to have been a most practical man. His career as a collector really began when in 1687, as personal physician, he accompanied the new Governor, the Duke of Albemarle, to Jamaica, having concluded that study of exotic flora and fauna would be of use in his career.
		These, we are told, included a lizard that fell overboard and was lost at sea, a crocodile that died in the tub in which it was kept, and a snake that escaped from its quarters and was shot after causing consternation among the ship's crew.
		Sloane's will directed that his collection should be offered to the British nation in return for £20,000 to be paid to his two daughters.
