Context (Amendments / updates)
It appears there was a possible miss-reading of the hand written description on the back of the catalogue card. It does not say '42' as one description suggests but more likely another number has been crossed out, possibly 3. This would tally with the number of objects found and the adjusted total on the back on the card.
