content: Anthropology catalogue ledger book indicates E19894 was exchanged with the Trocadero Museum, July 1885, however there is still an object clearly marked with this number in the Anthropology collections. Possibly what went to the Trocadero was E19895, which was not located during the inventory, or there were two objects numbered 19894? See Cat. 83 p. 185 and Pl. Xa p. 122 in Faucourt, Camille. 2020.
