Transcription Notes:
It's not totally clear which line the insertion "(3 sent to Saunt!)" (left page) refers to. I've assumed the line following, but not entirely certain. -@mnathan I think it may refer to the Dolerus liogaster specimens given there 6 taken but it is uncertain. I've also taken [[later?]] out of brackets as I agree w. transcription (as usual!) -@siobhanleachman
