content: FROM CONDITION REPORT FOR HALL 9 TAKEDOWN (C. VALENTOUR 3/98): "STRIPS OF BALEEN CUT TO POINTS AT ENDS." 5 BALEEN WOLF KILLERS WERE ON EXHIBIT IN NHB HALL 9, CASE 3 "HUNTING BIRDS AND LAND ANIMALS". THE EXHIBIT BOOK RECORDED THE CATALOG #S FOR THE 5 AS 89540 AND 89541. WHEN THE CASE WAS TAKEN DOWN IN 3/1998 IT WAS FOUND THAT ONLY 1 OF THE 5 HAD A VISIBLE CATALOG #: 89540. BECAUSE THE OTHER 4 PIECES WITHOUT NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT IN APPEARANCE THAN THE PIECES NUMBERED 89540 (BOTH THE ONE FORMERLY ON EXHIBIT AND THE ONES IN STORAGE) IT HAS BEEN DECIDED FOR NOW TO CALL THE OTHER 4 CATALOG #89541. - F. PICKERING 12-11-1998
