[NHCOLL-L:2545] Gavialis taxidermy mounts

[Gregory Watkins-Colwell]

Hi.  I'm trying to determine how many taxidermy mounted Gharials (Gavialis 
gangeticus) are in U.S. collections.  I've checked combined herp index and 
gotten a list of the participating institutions who have Gavilalis, and I'm 
checking online collection databases for those institutions who have 
them.  However, I'm not sure if everybody has their taxidermy mounted 
crocodilians cataloged.  This is the sort of thing that might be in an 
exhibit hall and uncataloged.

So... does anybody know of any taxidermy mounted Gavialis in U.S. collections?

Thanks,
greg
