It looks as though Bristow had purchased, or was selling, an accumulation of older specimens as they date from 1913 to 1933. The bird is listed as a male from Rye dated 19th 3rd 1919, in this instance Dr James Harrison has applied the incorrect date to the attached data label, stating 10th 3rd 1919, handwritten date to verso of the base 19. 3. 19, a trait George Bristow seems to have applied on occasion.
