Accession Register 12, p.247 records the donor as 'T.A.G. Strickland.' The source information entered for this record previously gave the donor as 'Mrs E.F. Strickland' and the collector as T.A.G. Strickland. It is not clear where the Mrs E.F. Strickland came from - Thomas Strickland does not seem to have had any relations with these initials. The Source field has been updated to match the Accession Register.
