1960 and given the same number as the skin. In 2016 there were no numbers or writing on the skull or mandibles but two associated numbers on unattached labels are “temp 141” and IRN 121934 (internal record number from EMu database). This specimen is also marked M.380 on a note inside the skull box, in handwriting that appears to be Jenny Anderson’s, possibly prior to assignment of temporary numbers. The skull and mandible are badly corroded, and salt crystals adhering to the dentition are clearly evident, along with bone scratch marks consistent with those made by a scalpel blade. This skull is presumably the one extracted from the skin marked M.

1960 had been overlooked during registration and in subsequent decades was assigned temporary numbers as a skull without data. We are confident that we have correctly associated the damaged skull (now M.380.1) with the skin and that this is the skull extracted in 1960. Holes drilled in the jaw show green copper residue which match holes in appropriate places in the skin, indicating that the skull and skin were wired together. A second intact skull and dentaries now registered as M.380.2, is most likely the skull illustrated in his account. It resembles the one illustrated by Miklouho-Maclay and our measurements of the skull closely match those taken from his illustration (

. We reject an alternative interpretation that a single spirit specimen was turned into a dried skin and skull. His statement on page 891 implies that he was already aware of the existence of his new species (the stuffed skin) when he located the spirit preserved specimen: “Having been informed by Mr Masters ...that a few skins....were preserved in spirits, I examined them at the first opportunity and had the good chance of finding amongst them a skin, with the skull, of one of the new species,

”. Our interpretation of the procedure adopted in the Catalogue is that a separate alphabetical letter was assigned to each specimen of a species, where “specimen” equates to an individual animal. Consequently, a skin would be assigned a letter but without indication of whether the skull was extracted, but a specimen consisting of a skull only (without skin or skeleton), would be assigned a separate alphabetical designation. If our interpretation is correct, then two individuals are listed under

It seems that extracting skulls from mounted specimens in Macleay’s Collection was not an option because it would degrade the presentation of the specimen. This provides further support for our interpretation of the original account.
