Context (Amendments / updates)
A crocodile with a open mouth was found unnumbered in the box, while a second crocodile with a closed mouth was labelled 2004.3. However the register notes that 2004.3 should be a crocodile with an open mouth. This un-numbered open-mouthed crocodile was exhibited in Paired Brothers, although the caption in the exhibition catalogue gave the access number, presumably in error as 2004.2. The item has now been numbered as 2004.3.
