Context (Amendments / updates)
Note for 1936.232: 'This record originally listed these items as coming from either Lamma Island, Hong Kong or Fifty Farm, Mildenhall, Suffolk. It is not clear how this occurred, as both the catalogue card and the accession register give Lamma Island as the Place. Fifty Farm has therefore been removed from the Place field.'
