P.83156 to P.83198 were found inside envelope now numbered C414/12/ which came from the box formerly numbered 162, now re-numbered C414/.

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Oceania; Melanesia; ?Solomon Islands; Europe; Great Britain; United Kingdom; England; Cambridgeshire; Cambridge”, but from the style of the figures, the knifes they hold, and the river and vegetation, the image is probably from Central Africa, possibly Congo. The Place field has been amended accordingly. [Information supplied by Len Pole, JD 10/3/2010]
