anyone had any experience of putting insurance valuations on type and figured
specimens for loans? I have a particular collection that I have had a request
for a loan of, but I have been told that I will need to put a valuation on each
specimen. There are about 100 specimens that are mostly syntypes (I can't tell
which are the holotypes as the original describer in the early 1900s did not
specify a holotype and no-one has looked at them since to designate a
lectotype). The specimens were the only ones used in the original descriptions
of each species, so I am assuming that they are at least syntypes? I can't
send them out until an insurance valuation can be given, and I don't want to
hold up the research. Any thoughts?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
