Context (Amendments / updates)
The length of this object and its appearance reflect those detailed in Leslie Mackintosh's catalogue [AR7/1/2] of B.F. 6 on p. 116: a crocodile 3 1/10 inches long and the 'tip of tail imperfect'. Z 45555 should be tentatively linked with 1947.1419 as being one and the same. The source field has tentatively been added to based on this to reflect the connection to Mackintosh.
