Research and responses

It is possible that this object was collected by EH Man. There are no objects with the fraction number 12642 in the green book. If my theory about fraction numbers is correct [see Introduction to the Lt-Genl PR catalogue] then objects with this number should have associated dates of between May and September 1881 [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
