Object remarks: Origin obscure, no label data, documentation rudimentary. Locality data obtained through exclusion. Condition very good, indicating that this specimen may have a later origin. However, preparation is probably made by Wilhelm von Wright (artist, illustrator, taxidermist), and contemporary preparation made by his hand may have equal good condition./EIÅ, 2007. 20th century label and pencil scientific name correction removed due to exhibition use (better than removing mounting block) /EIÅ, 2008.
