Notes

FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN BULL. 136, USNM, PL. 8-I, P.121."Swan collected two rattles, both Swan original #37. The ledger book indicates the original intention to give each rattle a separate catalogue number: 20786 and 20787. However, when the pieces were numbered during cataloguing, they were instead both given #20786, and were published as a pair under this number in USNM Bulletin 136. As of 2004, they are both still numbered 20786, and the decision has been made to keep them both as that number for now. - F. Pickering
