Context (Amendments / updates)
The Catalogue card for Z 27836 states 'G-S Collection' which has been interpreted as G.S. Graham-Smith. However this object has now been assigned to its date idno which has not been linked to a source, only possibly bought from Morely. 'Graham-Smith, G. S. (Professor) [collector]' has therefore been removed from the Source field for the present.

Context (Amendments / updates)
On sight of the object and its adhered label it appears this object marked Z 27836, has its date idno on the label. The Z-number assigned to the object Z 27836.1 K, has therefore been moved to the MAA Nos. field and the date idno on the label, 1894.4, added to the idno field as its primary idno. Because, according to the accession register, there are 14 objects under 1894.4, appropriate suffixes and records have been created.
