          Because of the foregoing status of
the matter these 2 Acc. Nos. 6417
and 7195 are treated separately
as distinct varieties of more
or less uncertain identification,
in the attached notes.

In an attempt to straighten out the confusion
between Acc Nos. 6417 and 7195 various
comparisons and checks were made on
specimens and paintings in the files -
but without recognizing at the time the
possibility of 2 distinct varieties of
English origin - Herefordshire Pearmain
and Herefordshire Beefing being
concerned. That same fact was
probably not recognized when
the paintings on file were made,
thus creating confusion (probably)
in the records so far as paintings
are concerned. The comparisons
made in connection with the
examination of specimens follow:

In 1926, examining specimens
of 6417 it was noted that - Specimens
check pretty well with Painting Pom.
No. 13218. It [the painting] surely is
very different from painting
Pom. No. 352111 and from Acc. No.
7195.  The conclusion is inevitable
apparently, that there are 2 varieties
under the name Herefordshire in the files.
