[Nhcoll-l] Catalog numbers for split lots

[Angela Hornsby]

Hi everyone,

We have a fish lot that was originally IDed to genus and cataloged as
such.  A researcher has followed up and IDed all individuals to species,
splitting cleanly into new lots.  Is there a standard guiding which (if
any) of these new lots should carry the original catalog number and which
should receive a new one?  This catalog series is strictly integers, so I
can't assign 123A, 123B, etc. without changing the series format and
affecting other things (working in Arctos).

Thanks for your thoughts.
