[NHCOLL-L:4745] RE: Label H.K.Coale

[Carol Spencer]

Hi
At MVZ we have 163 specimens collected by Henry K. Coale collected between
1907-1926, one snake and the rest are birds. They are from various places in
the US (Illinois, Wyoming, Kansas, Texas, California) and various other
parts of the world (Spain, Philippines, Ecuador, Uzbekistan, Taiwan, Japan,
etc). You can search on collector and download for MVZ at our site  (
http://arctos.database.museum/SpecimenSearch.cfm_). I can also send you a
text file directly.

His collector numbers range from 647 to 32525.
-Cheers
Carol Spencer
