Catalogue card for Z 44447 in Mary Hill Harris’ hand notes: 'Z 44447 - Z 44455 found in box saying Tobago - Mt Irvine - Site 4 - surface; Gt. Courland Bay - Washerwoman Bay - Little Bay (these last three with a line through them) - not entered. The crossing out is not very clear but I am assuming Site 4 is correct (2 sherds of this series are marked 4.s.).'
