[Nhcoll-l] Catalog numbers for split lots

[Callomon,Paul]

We often split lots, usually because they have been determined to contain more than one taxon but sometimes because they are combined primary and secondary types (the primary type keeps the number, the others get a new one). In all cases, however, we first check as far as possible on the web to see whether the number has been published, and if so we make sure to keep it with the taxon the publication referred to.
