content: Note 1: USNM 16147, USNM 19856, USNM 20619, USNM 20677, USNM 22860, USNM 29964, USNM 58929, USNM 70192, and USNM 77781 were all found in a multilot jar in oversize storage labelled "Sphyraena borealis" during an inventory project. Each lot had been wrapped mummy style and a tintag attached to the outside of the lot wrapping. As these lots were clearly labelled, they were separated into their own jars and as they were all small enough, returned to regular shelving. The outer tag and a note listing the lots originally in the multilot jar (those listed, plus USNM 684, USNM 50581, and USNM 57807) are currently stored with USNM 16147. Note 2: 2 specimens of this lot were found mummy wrapped together with an original jar necklabel and note in a multilot jar. It appears that someone misread the 6 from the necklabel as a 0 and created a tintag reading 10147 and the multilot labels from the multilot jar used this misnumbering. ( A look at the ledger indicates these specimens could not be from USNM 10147) Note 3: A note found wrapped with the specimens reads "near Mouth of Herring River, July 19, 1875" and the neck label found wrapped with the specimens has the collecting location as "Herring Pond. Mass." The attached collection event is based on information in the ledger.
