Comment:
L-11481: Listing partially crossed thru. Ledger remarks: "Sent to Mrs. Ella Crowles Los Angeles Oct. 23, 1934". Probably not received by museum. L-11481a: "Found" written in next to cat. number in ledger, refers to handwritten note in the front of the first volume of the Lillard ledger. The note reads: "Started checking specimens present in collection at U.C.M.A. on 3/8/50. Those present are marked "found" in back of catalogue number. W. Pendry". "Acquisition No. 25" does not apply to L-11481a.
