Hi again all, I was really impressed and excited by the feedback for my project collecting examples of newly-described species with long shelf lives. It was great! (But keep them coming too.) I had another question. I don't know if this is empirically known
or somewhat debatable, but I'm trying to make a list of the top 5 natural history collections in the US, and in the world. So, two lists. And I mean in terms of size, or number of specimens. Please weigh in. I'm assuming NMNH, AMNH, the Field for the US, but
who's next? And in the world, I just don't know: the NMNH, the BMNH, the AMNH? I don't know. Share your thoughts. I'm at
<a href="mailto:cjkemp@gmail.com">cjkemp@gmail.com</a>, or respond on the listserv. Thanks in advance! -- ck<br clear="all">
