Specimen export list. A list of specimens shipped from Perth to Tring included in a letter, dated 25 April 1904, from Bernard Woodward at the Western Australian Museum to Oldfield Thomas, detailing the transfer of Tunney specimens to Rothschild at Tring. The list includes his number 347 (now BMNH 1939.3315), an echidna identified as “Echidna aculeata” (i.e. Tachyglossus aculeatus) prior to Thomas’ examination of the specimen in London, where he realized it is a Zaglossus. This entry in the list is circled and highlighted.
