Research and responses

It seems highly likely that Tylor obtained this object from John Evans who was in correspondence with Abbott and received collections from him; see entry for 1928.68.58 for text of a letter from Charles Conrad Abbott to John Evans dated Trenton, New Jersey, 28 September 1874. [JC 9 5 2008]
