6. Miscellaneous

The Mammal Division currently has 274 specimen cases. There is
adequate space for present needs and about four years worth of additions
in about one third of the collection (Monotremata through Lagomorpha) .

In an additional one-fourth of the collection space is adequate for
current needs, with no room for additions. In the rest of the collection
there is inadequate room for present holdings, and no room for additions.
Because of inadequate space, large series of specimens are out of
sequence. The carnivores and rodents are especially critical: specimens
have been backing up for several years because there is no room in the
main collection. This has made processing of new material very difficult.
There is a need for eighteen cases to allow a much-needed curation of the
main collection, allowing adequate room for our present holdings. At
least twelve more cases are needed to allow for expansion in the next
