Other Information

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Europe; ?England”, but the coconut palm grows throughout the tropical world. The matching Lanternslide LS.89128. is annotated as “Coconut, New Guinea.” The Place field has been amended accordingly. [JD 28/10/2008]

Other Numbers: The prints have been numbered as if the card is held vertically, therefore the numbering is different from normal. [JD 28/10/2008]
