[Nhcoll-l] help deciphering unknown symbol for mammal specimen

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Dawn

The "Zero over Infinity" symbol is most often associated with an indeterminate status so I can only assume that someone used this to classify something about the specimen indeterminate - its location, its disposition, its size.  Maybe you can decipher what from the context of the other text.

Hi everyone,

We would appreciate assistance in deciphering this symbol, which was recorded in an old catalogue book for a Mustela nivalis specimen. See attached image.

Thanks!
