UAZ Herpetology Collection Online Data
In this update, complete or nearly complete collection information is provided
for each specimen.
A Specimen Code with the letters PSV as a hyphenated suffix (such as UAZ 55616-PSV)
indicate that the specimen is a Photographic Specimen Voucher. In this case, the
specimen is represented by a photograph only.
While using a database such
as this, or even the more inclusive version available on request, one must remain
aware that " the database is not
the collection
". Reading
from a list is no viable substitute for hands on examination of specimens. These
listings should be used only as guidelines as to what may
be available for study. This database was created from catalog cards and has yet
to be reconciled with the actual specimens or specimen label data. Mistakes, outdated
taxonomy, and differences of taxonomic opinion are inherent in a collection of
this size and age. It may be useful to use one or more synonyms if you are unable
to find the taxon you are searching for. We are working on reconciling the specimens
with the database, correcting mistakes, and upgrading the taxonomy. As these changes
are made, the site will be updated and upgraded. Thank you and have patience during
construction of this site.
