Figure 9.

Non-original tag (views of front and back) added at Tring or BMNH, and apparently bearing the handwriting of Tring taxidermist Fred Young. The tag bears a note suggesting that the original labels must be incorrect because the specimen corresponds to Rothschild’s concept of Zaglossus bruijni goodfellowi, then considered endemic to the Indonesian island of Salawati, following his 1913 key (Rothschild 1913). The note seems to indicate that knowledge of the importance of this specimen has been obscured since or before the specimen’s transfer from Tring to BMNH, as it was assumed by Young to be a mistake.
