Musk ox, Arbuthnot Museum, Peterhead

Peterhead Sentinel, May 19th, 1896

To Captain Gray's generosity we are indebted for a valuable collection of Arctic animals, fish and Esquimeaux implements to be seen in the Arbuthnot Museum; and also for a splendid specimen of the Arctic bear, and the rare and valuable black eyebrowed albatross so much prized by naturalists. The last mentioned specimen has been greatly admired and frequently photographed by those interested in the study of natural history.

The museum's collection of mounted Arctic animals includes a musk ox which may have been part of David Gray's donation.
