Context (Amendments / updates)
The Accession Register references that of the 12 objects with the idno Z 24129, 'Collection of 12 flint implements... One scraper belongs to Fox Collection - No.624'. This alongside the reference to 'part' on the catalogue card suggests that only one should be assigned to G.J. Buscall Fox and the others are not. Possible scraper has been added to the short description of this record to reflect the accession register. This is based on the Fox mark on the object and it originally appearing in the Other Numbers field in this record.

Context (Amendments / updates)
The catalogue card reads: 'Fox Coll. (part)'. Because only one of the 12 objects seen with idno Z 24129 has been marked with a G.J. Buscall Fox number (which correlates to the Fox Catalogue) it could be that only this object should be given Fox as a source and this is what the 'part' refers to. Fox has a very distinctive marking system and no other objects with this idno has his mark.
