Context (Other)
Jean Somerville: 'Some confusion exists over the idnos for 1915. Most catalogue cards record, and many objects themselves are marked with, the Annual Report number as a primary number. However they all have a valid Accession Register number from Accession Register 4. Since many objects are part of a group of objects it is not always possible to positively identify the correct Accession Register number. A possible Accession Register number has been recorded in the idno line in the hope that the confusion may be resolved when the object is next viewed and the record amended accordingly. In addition, some objects also retain an earlier Accession number from Register 3. which were superseded by those in Register 4. Some have only the Register 3 number and others only a Blue Book number.'

Context (Amendments / updates)
This object is marked with its Annual Report number (1915.3). As noted by Somerville, the accession register gives a range of numbers for a group of objects, rather than individual entries for each. However, the order of the descriptions indicates that this should be 1915.34. Therefore, the AR number has been moved to the MAA Numbers field.
