Moldenke, BROWN CROFT DUELLMAN AND MCCLELLAND, Bube, O. E. (Ohmer E.) and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
