Context (Amendments / updates)
The number and handwriting of these objects is very similar to others which came to the museum from the Salisbury Museum but were originally part of the Smithsonian Institute's collection (for example, see Z 40226). Therefore this has been tentatively added to the Source field pending confirmation.
