I had a look on the web...and found this reference at 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archive.org_stream_mobotbca-5F20-5F02-5F00_mobotbca-5F20-5F02-5F00-5Fdjvu.txt&d=AwIC-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=xU45NVnSup3SK-P82T5BOpL01NXq1LySXHCudDA2KSY&s=J9kiFDRSxFsfJbSbap5eGsPV4KlUVRr4Hra_0e56wvM&e=

and see the foot note on this page: 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.jstor.org_stable_4063730-3Fseq-3D2-23page-5Fscan-5Ftab-5Fcontents&d=AwIC-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=xU45NVnSup3SK-P82T5BOpL01NXq1LySXHCudDA2KSY&s=wTGT-0HRZzhkKXToCHNkhptrrirSaesMjD-m2-nVxIo&e= 

Then, I had a look in the idigbio portal, search=assorting
I got one hit
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.idigbio.org_portal_records_34eddbeb-2D8e12-2D4e24-2D8db1-2Ded106239a0ca&d=AwIC-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=xU45NVnSup3SK-P82T5BOpL01NXq1LySXHCudDA2KSY&s=oPkWte8rgCVFQis0FVs9C7RPm42Fh7eoyu3GFLwmrS4&e= 

and I see a note there in the Collection Remarks field:
Additional label reads "Palmer's Assorting No. 1157" - might refer to 
Miriam A. Palmer notes.

Hope these clues help.
