content: Ledger book says there were originally 4, and catalog card says that 3 were exchanged, but 2 remain in the collection. Seems likely that there is some confusion with scrapers in E55910. From Card: "1 EXCH. OCT. '80. 1 EXCH. OCT. '85 [to Auckland, NZ]. 1 EXCH. TROCADERO 7-'85." SI ARCHIVE DISTRIBUTION DOCUMENTS SAY [1 of 4] SENT TO AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, 1885.
