content: Note 1: The taxon listed in the ledger for this lot is "Mugil albula" and albula was crossed out and replaced with "cephalus." Note 2: "Lt. Wailes" is assumed to be the Collector, not the Received From party, based on existing EMu Collection Event records.

content: Note 1: Note that in the the jar neck labels stored with the specimen there appears to have been some confusion regarding the collecting location as an early neck label had an abbreviation for Mississippi in cursive script that people replacing the labels had difficulty reading. The attached collection event is based on the ledger entry.
