<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear All, <br><br></div>Just gathering some data about collection sizes. I know many of you are curators, so I'd be really interested to know how many specimens (approx) you oversee in your specialty, wherever you are. Especially include anything that makes it superlative in some way. It would be really nice in my book to provide some specific figures, along the lines of: The ichthyology collection at X contains more than X specimens; or At the X Museum of Natural History, the entomology collection includes the largest single collection of mosquitoes, containing more than X specimens, and some as old as X; or something like that. Some specifics. Information that would boggle the minds of readers who only think about what is on display when they visit museums. <br><br></div>You know what I mean? Hope some of you are willing to play along.<br><br></div>Best,<br><br></div>--ck<div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br><span></span></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><div>
