content: FINELY WOVEN BELT OF BANANA FIBER, WITH INTRICATE GEOMETRIC DESIGNS IN ALTERNATING MAROON, NATURAL YELLOWISH-TAN, BLACK AND DARK BROWN. ONE SECTION OF THE BELT HAS BEEN ROLLED INTO A CORD, WHICH HAS BEEN BOUND WITH A LIGHT-COLORED FIBER. MARKS> "5708-B". THE "B" SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THIS BELT, SINCE THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE #5708. THERE WERE TWO BELTS LOCATED WITH THE CATALOGUE NUMBER 5708, ONE 5708-A & THE OTHER 5708-B. SINCE THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE 5708, AND SINCE THE CATALOGUE NUMBER 5704 WAS MISSING INVENTORY DATA, THE NUMBER 5708-A HAS BEEN TENTATIVELY ASSIGNED TO 5704.

content: FROM CARD: "ONE OF THESE SPECIMENS HAD TENTATIVELY BEEN GIVEN THE NUMBER 5709, BUT APPARENTLY WITHOUT GOOD REASON, BECAUSE THE CATALOG BOOK, APPEARS TO SHOW TWO ORIGINAL NUMBERS UNDER THIS MUSEUM NO. AND THE SPECIMENS ARE THE SAME TYPE WHILE 5709 CALLS FOR SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. - R. ELDER, 1958."
