content: Note 1: USNM 4724 and USNM 9786 were found in a multilot jar with a tag style label that listed both numbers as "Sphyraena picuda" and reads "Cuba Poey" As both specimens were clearly labeled with attached tintags they have been separated and the jar tag placed with 4724. Note 2: At this time the attribution to Poey and the location of Cuba can not be confirmed for this specimen, however it is likely. On the page where this lot is entered in the ledger, it appears that only the first entry was fully completed with location and collection information and the location of Cuba and the collector Poey were added to many other entries (although not this one) at later dates. 9786 does not appear in a handwritten list of Poey specimens located in the department records, however among the specimens listed as Sphyraena picuda is 9781, which may have been mis-transcribed from this lot as 9781 is a very different fish.
