Also, the old tag noted on the catalogue card lists the name G. F. Emmons (i.e. George Foster Emmons), who was on the expedition, "Ex. Ex.", wihch is an abbreviation for the expedition name, and "B. 37", which probably references Box 37, related to shipping the collection back to the U.S.. Tags like this one appear on other Exploring Expedition artifacts.
