Ingham's 1967 notes on the specimen:
"This specimen, which was in a very mixed-up state, has been sorted out and mended as far as this can be done. The Eyebury Catalogue entry under '30', with which this specimen undoubtedly corresponds, states that the specimen was sent to Sturtz in 1913. This can not be true, whe these Eyebury entries were made (?in 1917) some confusion about who had received what clearly must have existed. The fact that the specimen must have still been at Eyebury at that time means it must have been overlooked by A. N. Leeds shortly before his death." From the handwriting in the adjoining columns (specimens 31 and 32, with the date 1919 appended), some of these entries were clearly not made by Alfred Leeds, but after his death in 1917, most probably by E. Thurlow Leeds - some of the entries may well have been started by him prior to his father's death, as he attempted to preserve some data on the acquisition and dispersal of the collection, while he could still take down his father's oral history. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VERTTETRREPTIL : PLESIELAS : FOSSIL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
