> I am looking for any information about a collector named Barnes, presumably British, who collected zoological/entomological (perhaps natural history generally) specimens and presented or sold them to the Natural History Museum, London [=British Museum (Natural History)]. Unfortunately, I don't have anything more, even years active, but probably late 19th century or early 20th century.

Perhaps this helps: Cornell's birdsoftheworld has a nivce feature for 
searching names, namely James Jobling's database:
