content: From card: "86 knots on 22 sheets, 26 [loose] knots, 1 knot in box, 2 books on knots... Transferred to SI Library [presumably referring to the books]"
label: Notes
content: There are now 64 sheets and 50 loose knots, plus another loose knot that was formerly in a box (the box is catalog number 178265). This is a much larger number of knots than was described on the catalog card. All of the loose knots are unnumbered and about half of the sheets have the catalog number written in a different ink than the other half. Some of these extra knots and sheets may have originally been part of catalog number E178265, which is missing 17 sheets and 23 loose knots, and is from the same donor. Perhaps they were simply lumped together at some point because the original number was missing, and they appeared to be from the same donor (same manner of attaching them to the sheets, etc.)
