[NHCOLL-L:2814] Stockard's Dogs Have Been Found!

[Abby Grace Drake]

Hi Again,

Many people were interested in the answer to my query - Liz McGhee has 
informed me that Stockard's dog collection is in the Georgia Museum of 
Natural History.  
If anyone is interested in collaborating on this project please feel 
free to contact me - it's been nice meeting some fellow canid people.

Cheers,
Abby



Abby,

      Many of them are here.  There's too many to mail but you're 
welcome to come here and measure them.

Liz
