content: FROM CARD 179,075B. "ROSARIES. 22 SPECIMENS. ORIGINALLY THESE 22 SPECIMENS WERE ALL GIVEN THIS ONE CATALOG NUMBER WITHOUT ANY SEPARATE DESCRIPTIVE DESIGNATIONS. CONSEQUENTLY MANY OF THEM HAVE APPEARED IN THE ARTICLE BY I. M. CASANOWICZ:"COLL. ROSARIES IN USNM., PROC. USNM. VOL. 36, PP 333-59 ALL WITH THE SAME NUMBER. EVENTUALLY THIS SET OF CONFUSED ITEMS WILL HAVE TO BE GOTTEN OUT AND SUPPLEMENTAL NUMBERS APPLIED SO AS TO PROVIDE DISTINCTIVE DESIGNATIONS. 5/67-R. ELDER." 20 of these 22 appear to be missing, since they were not inventoried with this number.
