[Nhcoll-l] Lacerta and other specimens

[William Poly]

Dear Sergio,

Also be aware of arsenic and possibly other poisons in the bird and mammal
mounts / skins
[see:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__repository.si.edu_bitstream_handle_10088_8134_mci-5FCollections-5FForum-5F2-2C-5F2006.pdf-3Fsequence-3D1-26isAllowed-3Dy&d=DwIFaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=0EUa_HTibU0ukB4cdpKuaGEQb0okb47cStOgi4H-Igg&s=iz1XTGicZ5qc4L4opaI8foCIK5-QkxZNi9ZvrInkpdo&e=
]

And although not likely to be present, check all taxa and associated data
to determine if there are any type specimens in that collection.

Bill
