Following communication with David Morris at the Kimberley museum it seems that this collection may have been sent to Henry Balfour for his opinion on them, since a previous collection had been sent to him. These items bear Kimberley museum accession numbers and that museum holds data relating to their source sites etc. [CRFW 3/9/2002]
