The 130f contains another 1 Tin. Shells

had since it arrived at the Wharf at this
Newyork as it is of a date 6 Oct. or Nov. 1840.
Contents. Being S. Armament, Sent to

the Specimens. From what I saw this was all

of the same kind when this was last time. There
are two female S. Martens (Phocat) but no male.

140 specimens of the same genus as well as those
of the Congress Catalogue Calls for 17.
This 130f has only 13 Specimens remaining in the Shelf
of the Congress Catalogue Calls for 17.
