content: There is no record of this specimen either in the original loan ledger or the later ledger when the accession 38151 was acquired by purchase. The catalog cards for 211201A and B are similar in format and have detailed descriptions of the specimens, but they are unlike the other catalog cards in the series. According to a memo from the accession file, written by Robert Elder in 1959, there is some question about when the collection was accessioned by the museum (it had previously been on long-term loan). Possibly 211201 A and B were added at a later date.
