This document has been numbered Cap/I/17/51A because it was not found until the rest of Cap/I/17 had been stamped and numbered. It appears to have been separated from its group at some time between the compiling of the rough catalogue by C. E. Welch in the early 1960s, and the compiling of this catalogue (February-May 1972). It was found at the bottom of a box of Chapter Miscellenea (Cap/I/10).
