In the opinion of Elizabeth Baquedano this is probably Totonac. [LMC]
The name of the field collector was given as Zeta Nuttall in the original computer entry but there are two other objects given via McDougall from a Zelia Nuttall and it would seem likely that this is in fact the correct name, if it turns out that Zeta was in fact the right name then please change all three entries [AP 23/7/2002]
A Mrs Nuttall of Norham Gardens was a member of the Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire from 1898 - 1900 [AP 1/11/2002]
