<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Could someone share a list of AOU numbers that would have been written on eggs in oology collections in the late 1800's - early 1900's? From context, I can infer that each number corresponded
to a species, but my searches for AOU numbers online only bring up the letter codes that AOU currently publishes for species. A searchable digital copy of the list would be ideal, but I'll take anything you can provide. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
