Arrangement
It was thought when the first 55 pieces were transferred, in the latter half of the 19th century, that they were all that had survived from these series. Subsequently earlier material was located and was transferred as CUST 20/56-161. The list has been re-arranged to integrate the two transfers in chronological order within the above categories.
