In London, specimens from strange cases kept ending up in the same place. The Natural History Museum became the archive's court of last resort. In 1933 Marmaduke Wetherell sent it plaster casts of his Loch Ness footprints. Reginald Pocock found that none of Gef the talking mongoose's paw prints matched a mongoose. In 1963 Gordon Claringbull examined the Silpho Moor saucer metal and found nothing unusual. Later, Daphne Hills judged a Kellas cat most probably a melanistic Scottish wildcat, and a team confirmed the River Fowey skull came from a young male leopard.
