Plain study-skin label in C. F. Adams's hand of the type used for birds in the Auckland Museum collection (LB2712, wrybill Anarhynchus frontalis; label 66 × 27 mm). Adams included the common name and iris colour on these labels and put a solidus before the year digits. The labels are manila-coloured with dull red cardboard eyelets stamped “PATD.1863.1874”; they seem to be commercial luggage tags trimmed to size. Photograph: B. Gill.
