[NHCOLL-L:2146] Re: Destructive sampling protocols

[Deborah A Lewis]

Henry,

Have you seen the papers that were part of a symposium on this topic at the 
1995 SPNHC meeting in Toronto? The symposium "proceedings" are published in:
Metsger, Deborah A. and Sheila C. Byers (eds). 1999. Managing the Modern 
Herbarium: An Inter-disciplinary Approach. Society for the Preservation of 
Natural History Collections, pp. 263-350.

While most of these papers are on sampling from botanical specimens, one is 
specifically on vertebrate collections.
