content: The only information on the tag is "298 [248?]," "Dodinga 16 Jan 81," and "T[damaged, probably Tbl]." This record was compiled based on contexual information in Case 27 Drawers 5 and 6. The other items in the drawer, as well as the drawer above it, are all labelled similarly. Most of them have similarly damaged tags with the same handwriting, but when there is information, they are from Indonesia or have "Tbl" (=Tobelo) followed by a Tobelo local name. Page 86 of Paul Michael Taylor's book "A Folk Biology of the Tobelo People," lists "Tbl" as an abbreviation for "Tobelo (=Tobelorese)." One of the specimens in drawer 5 has the collector labelled as "Taylor." Due to this consistency, the collector has been listed as Taylor, P.M. and the locality as Indonesia. However, it is possible that this is incorrect.
