The Natural History Museum Archives holds Captain A.K. Totton's Coelenterata Section correspondence with Beatrice Grey, amounting to about 35 letters and memos. Her letters are descriptive and lively, and give details of her collecting activities in Western Australia and Singapore from 1927 to 1935 when she collected anemones, corals, sponges, crabs, jelly fish, and molluscs. There is a small photograph of the yacht Silver Gull in the same file (DF253/48). There are also several parcel receipts for boxes of specimens that came to the Natural History Museum in 1930 and 1931.
