notes: label: Notes
content: Note that there is no information on this specimen, since the tag is too damaged. This record was compiled based off the contextual information in Case 27 Drawer 5. This specimen has the same damaged small tag as the other specimens in the drawer, which are associated with the same collector and region. One of them is labelled as Taylor, P.M. "Tbl" most likely refers to Tobelo or Tobelorese, a language/region in Indonesia. Page 86 of Paul Michael Taylor's book "A Folk Biology of the Tobelo People," a publication of the Smithsonian Institution, lists "Tbl" as an abbreviation for "Tobelo (=Tobelorese)." Taylor has been listed as the collector due to the similarly labelled specimens in the drawer, the Indonesia locality, and the use of "Tbl" and Tobelo local names. However, it is possible this is not correct.
