I was told that it was at the time. It could well have been reclassified in
the year-plus since I last saw it, however, and since the mount was not
labelled, it's also possible that I might have been misinformed by a
preparator. It definitely fit the model of _S. stenops_ (or whatever; I must
admit that I'm not entirely familiar with this debate over the species).
