Context (Amendments / updates)
The Source field was previously identified as 'Barratt, F (Dr)', it is more likely that it is actually one of the objects donated by Dr James Barratt in 1886, which includes material from Italy. The Source field has now been amended accordingly to read 'Barratt, James (Dr) [donor]'.
