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: 3 specimens were found wrapped together with a jar neck label and two handwritten notes mummy style. A single USNM tuntag was wrapped around the bundle. The specimens are now unwrapped. Note 3: The two hand wrtten notes contain the same collecting information, with the most complete reading "Eel Pond Woods Hole, Mass Oct 15, 1892 seined: V. N. Edwards" The attached collection event is based on the ledger entry.
