content: FROM CARD: "EXCHANGED WITH MRS. J. CROSBY BROWN, JAN. 3, 1896." ACCESSION RECORDS AND LEDGER DRAWINGS INDICATE THAT THERE WERE 6 INVERTED DOUBLE REED WHISTLES, ORIGINAL #80, AND 2 OOLALLA WHISTLES, ORIGINAL #S 81 AND 82. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO A MISTAKE DURING CATALOGUING, ONLY 7 CATALOGUE NUMBERS WERE ASSIGNED TO THESE 8 OBJECTS. ONE OF THE REED WHISTLES AND OOLALLA WHISTLE #81 WOUND UP AT ONE POINT BOTH BEING CALLED CATALOGUE #89062. AS NOTED ABOVE, THE REED WHISTLE ORIGINALLY GIVEN CATALOGUE #89061 HAS BEEN EXCHANGED. THEREFORE THE "EXTRA" REED WHISTLE ONCE NUMBERED 89062 HAS BEEN GIVEN #89061, TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM THE OOLALLA WHISTLE WHICH HAS BEEN KEPT AS 89062. - F. PICKERING 6-9-1997
