Notes:
FROM CARD: "178532-6. TAPA. 178532, PLAIN. OTHER NOS. DECORATED. DEP. IN THE S.I. BY MRS. EUGENIA PHILLIPS AND P. LEE PHILLIPS. 178,533 SAMOA."
Catalogue information for E178532 - 6 was originally grouped on one catalogue card, and all were identified as Samoa. At a later date, E178532 was reidentified as Hawaii. At that time, all the objects in the number range E178532 - 6 were mistakenly reidentified as Hawaii. E178534 - 6 have been returned to Samoa identification. E178533 had been subsequently identified as Futuna by curator Saul Riesenberg, and a separate catalogue card typed with that identification, so it has been returned to a Futuna ID.
