Notes
FROM CARD: "SMALL STICK, SURMOUNTING BY RED-BIRD TUFT AND ANNULAR SECTIONS OF SHELL, DENTALIUM INDIANORUM."Donor/collector information is in question. Catalogue card has conflicting information, listing donor as either Army Medical Museum or Wilkes Ex. Expd. (the U.S. Exploring Expedition) 1841. The Anthropology ledger books identify the object as from the U.S. Exploring Expedition, and do not mention the Army Medical Museum. However, Jane Walsh has not identified a Peale number for this object and does not consider this object to be part of the U.S. Exploring Expedition collections.
