Context (Acquisition Details)
The Annual Report for 1899 does not list any of these objects. They are documented in a separate 'Murray Collection Catalogue'. However, the Catalogue only lists records from MC 1899.1 to MC 1899.343 and there are a number of objects with 'Z' idno which have been attributed to the Murray Collection. It is not clear in every case whether these are duplicate numbers for objects already in the Catalogue or new numbers given to previously unrecorded material from the Collection.
