- Research and responses
There are no objects with the fraction number 1066 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 June and November 1874 [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
Related Documents File - RDF contains notes found in a drawer with museum specimens in January 1991. They seem to be notes made by ES Thomas when cataloguing this section of the Pitt Rivers Collection. [The notes cover all objects in the 1884.79. section] [LM]
