Research and responses

Guanche and Canario - any of the aboriginal peoples inhabiting, respectively, the western and eastern groups of the Canary Islands when first encountered by the conquering Spaniards at the beginning of the 15th century. [Encyclopaedia Britannica on line] [AP 24/3/2000] This object and the following set's number have actually had to be taken out of the original accession book order because some other objects numbers were missed by JC when numbering 1892.31.27 [which should have been .47] [AP 24/3/2000]
