[Nhcoll-l] Ranking of largest collections -- HELP

[Christopher Kemp]

Please post this to the listserv

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 cjkemp at gmail.com, or
respond on the listserv. Thanks in advance! -- ck
