&#13;
Only one being photographed? (Xiongbo)&#13;
&#13;
Not sure what has happened here Xiongbo. My spreadsheet shows that part 1 (a) was measured 10/11/14 and part 2 (b) was measured 18/08/14. Please check Dropbox again and let me know if images for part 2 is still missing. Vernon ID number added to System ID field. &#13;
&#13;
Yes, indeed, the part 1 (the seals) and part  2 (the cases that contains the seals) were photographed on two different days. According to the description, part 1 has two seals - one with ancient script and one with modern script. The question is, I’ve found only the pictures of the seal with the ancient script.

Should you find the opportunity perhaps you could ring him or call...You may tell him privately also that we have made a special expedition to our Pyramid Valley moa swamp and have recovered a most perfect skeleton of the giant moa (Dinoris maximus --8'6" high) which we are anxious to send to Peking to help establish the proposed Natural History Museum. If necessary we can add a smaller skeleton, but the large one will be the best in the world outside New Zealand...I won't write again to Dr. Wu if there is any possibility of you snatching an hour from your busy time to call on him, and ascertain whether he would like the skeleton (s).'  &#13;
