Description (CMS Description)
Most labels were original von Hugel labels. Most refer to Fijian objects in MAA's collection (occasionally to objects from Samoa or Solomon Islands), others refer to Zoological specimens which may or may not be in the Cambridge Museum of Zoology with the rest of Anatole von Hugel's Fijian bird collections. Most labels have been transcribed and itemised and a list is now kept with this archives.
