Object Notes: Label in handwriting similar to others collected by Haddon but also works from other collectors such as Feilden. Whose handwriting is it and during what period were they active? - MAA. The date on the label and the mention of the Bellair kraal suggests that it may have been collected by A. C. Haddon on the BAAS 1905 expedition to Bellair. MAA also holds photographs from Haddon from the visit to Bellair.
