Halmahera Island, Dodinga, Maluku, Indonesia, Asia-Tropical
Collection Date:
27 Mar 1979
Notes:
The only information on the tag is "Taylor 106 B" and "Halmahera: Dodinga." This record was compiled based on contexual information in the drawer (Case 27, drawer 5). The other items in the drawer, as well as the drawer under it, are all labelled similarly. Most of them have similarly damaged tags with the same handwriting, but when there is information, they are from Indonesia or have "Tbl" (=Tobelo) followed by a Tobelo local name. Page 86 of Paul Michael Taylor's book "A Folk Biology of the Tobelo People," lists "Tbl" as an abbreviation for "Tobelo (=Tobelorese)." Due to this consistency, the collector has been listed as Taylor, P.M. and the locality as Indonesia. However, it is possible that this is incorrect.
