THs survey was initiated in 1966 as a project of a subcommittee of the A.O.U.'s Committee on Research, at that time chaired by Paul H. Baldwin. The subcommittee consisted of the authors and Ralph J. Raitt. In 1968 the project was separated from the Committee on Research and the temporary Committee on Collections was established, with the present authors as its members. This paper is the final report of the committee. In the past, many studies utilizing museum materials have been handi- capped by ignorance of the existence of potentially important specimens. We hoped, by means of this survey, to enable future workers to take full advantage of all available material. The objectives of the survey were to determine the locations of collections of ornithological material with research potential, particularly skins, skeletons, fluid-preserved specimens, eggs, and nests; to assess the sizes and particular geographic or systematic strengths of the various collections; to locate former private collections; to learn what collections include holotypes, and who is responsible for the collections. These basic points are generally well-known for the larger institutions that specialize in maintaining research collections, but not for many smaller collections containing valuable material. The survey was inspired by and patterned after a series made of mammal collections (see Anderson et al. 1963, J. Mammal. 44: 471-500). A survey form was prepared for distribution to all known holders of bird collections and to institutions and individuals that we felt might have such collections. Recipients were asked first to categorize their re- sponse by marking one of the following: A. If you have no collection of bird specimens, or fewer than 25 (all local) please check here. Then complete item 15 only, and return. B. If you have fewer than 200 specimens, primarily local, for exhibition or teaching purposes, please check here. If there are specimens of par- ticular interest, such as rare, extinct, or exotic species, state records, his- torical specimens, etc., please list these on reverse. Then complete items 11-15 only, and return. C. If you have more than 200 specimens, please complete the rest of the form. The following 15 questions were asked: 1. Approximately how many specimens of birds are there in your private or institutional collection, in each of the following categories? Study skins, skeletons, preserved in fluid, mounted birds, egg sets, nests. 2. Does the collection include any type specimens (holotypes)? If so, how many? Has a catalog or list of these been published? Please give citation. Number added since catalog? 3. What geographic areas are most well represented in your collection? 4. What systematic groups are most well represented in your collection? 5. Are special preparations represented? (give approximate numbers if convenient). Injected anatomical preparations, known age specimens, domestic birds, mounted skeletons, other. 6. Are original field notes preserved with the collection? 7. Are card files maintained to facilitate finding specimens of certain systematic groups? Certain geographic areas? Other categories? 8. Does your collection include specimens previously cited in the literature as being in a different collection (for example, a formerly private collection now in an institutional collection)? What collections have been combined with yours? 9. Is it usually necessary to make arrangements in advance to use the collection? Is someone usually available to aid an investigator wishing to use the collection? May the collection be used other than normal working hours, as on evenings and weekends ? 10. Are specimens loaned for study? Skins, skeletons, fluid-preserved, eggs, nests? (This presumes that loans are usually made to institutions rather than to individuals, that the cost of shipping both ways will be borne by the institution requesting the loan in writing, and that adequate insurance will be carried. The loan of type speci- mens is not expected.) 11. Is there an organized nest records scheme or banding program associated with the collection ? 12. Does the collection include files of original photographs? original paintings? tape recordings ? 13. Do you consider this primarily a teaching, reference, exhibition, or research collection ? 14. Who is directly in charge of the collections? (title and address). 15. Form completed by (name, title, address, and date). Survey forms were sent to 1,456 institutions and individuals, beginning in May 1969. Sources utilized in compiling the list of addresses included the "Directory of bioscience departments in the United States and Canada" compiled by the A.I.B.S. (1967, Rheinhold Publ. Co.) and the "Mu- seums directory of the United States and Canada" (1965, Amer. Assoc. of Museums). The Division of Wildlife Refuges of the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the Office of Natural Science Studies of the National Park Service provided us with lists of refuges and parks known to have collections. Survey forms were also sent to all other persons and institutions known or suspected by the committee members or col- leagues to have collections. A number of recipients of the forms sug- gested others to whom forms should be sent. Announcements of the survey published in journals brought a few additional requests for forms. A total of 860 individuals and institutions returned completed forms to us, a return of 59 percent. A brief check revealed that most of the forms not returned had been sent to small institutions and we assume that most of these lack collections. In compiling this report from returned survey forms, we have at- tempted to condense a great deal of information into a relatively small space by using a telegraphic style and omitting minor aspects. Collec- tions were divided into three categories by size: (I) containing more than 1,000 research specimens (study skins, skeletons, and fluid-preserved); (II) between 200 and 1,000 research specimens; and (III) fewer than 200 research specimens. Principles and procedures followed in compiling the results were (numbers correspond to the questions asked): 1. Number of specimens.--Most of the numbers reported are estimates. Minor holdings are not included; i.e. fewer than 25 skins, skeletons, and fluids are not listed and fewer than 50 mounts, egg sets, and nests are omitted. All numbers are rounded to the nearest 5. 2. Holotypes.--Thirty-three collections reported holding holotypes. No collection with fewer than 10 holotypes had published a catalog of them; collections with more than 10 are noted "no catalog" or a publication citation is given. This item is omitted for collections not reporting holotypes. 3. Geographic areas.--Cited as reported on form. 4. Systematic groups.--Special holdings are reported; otherwise collections are assumed to be of a general nature. 5. Special preparations.--Noted if the respondent gave an indication of the number in each category; omitted if categories were merely checked or if fewer than 10. 6. Field notes.--Cited here if the category was checked; deta/Is are included if given. It is likely that some respondents confused field notes with label data on specimens. 7. Files.--Reported as given on form. 8. Collection components.--Although we requested just the names of collections previously cited in the literature as being elsewhere, some respondents listed the separate components of their collections. These have been included in our report except for a few instances where respondents were apparently listing collectors' names rather than collections. 9. Use of collection by visitors.--It is always courteous, and often necessary, to make advance arrangements to visit a collection. Virtually all collections indicated that if advance notice were given visitors would be welcome, someone would be available to help, and the collection might be used outside normal working hours. Readers are reminded that college or university collections might not be available in summer, and that collections in parks and field stations, etc., might be closed in winter. Only special comments are given for this item in the compilation. Pros- pective visitors and those writing for information about a collection or requesting loans should address their inquiries to the title of the person in charge of the collec- tion. Letters addressed solely to the name of the respondent listed in this report could be delayed if that person were no longer associated with the collection. 10. Loans.--Most institutions are willing to loan skins, skeletons, and fluid-pre- served specimens, but not mounts, eggs, or nests. Institutions not willing to loan specimens are noted. 11. Associated activities.--Collections with associated nest record schemes, banding programs, etc., are so reported. 12. Photographs, paintings, tape recordings.--Reports of these holdings are given in the detail supplied on the forms. 13. Purpose.--Categories are listed as on the survey form unless the respondent ranked them differently. 14, 15. Responsible persons.--If only one name is given it indicates that the respondent is directly in charge of the collection. If two names are listed, the first is of the person in charge, the second is of the respondent. Dates the forms were completed are omitted. Most were filled out during the summer or early autumn of 1969. Corrections received through September 1972 have been incorporated, but we have made no special effort to bring information up to date. Many respondents with smaller collections noted specimens of par- ticular interest. Twenty-two type III collections supplied such informa- tion, most replies indicating a mounted Passenger Pigeon (usually without data) or other extinct species. Space limitations preclude listing this information here, but it was compiled and is available from any of the authors and will be filed permanently in the Royal Ontario Museum. RESULTS TO our knowledge, the only previous compilation of information about ornithological research collections is that presented by J. L. Peters (1933, pp. 131-141 in Fifty years' progress of American ornithology 1883-1933, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Amer. Ornithol. Union). Peters briefly discussed 28 institutional or private collections vth more than 5,000 specimens and mentioned four others with fewer specimens. By contrast, the present survey reveals the existence today of 37 collections of more than 10000 study s]dns. Three private collections Peters mentioned have since been incorporated into institutional collections.

This number seems impressive until one realizes that a substantial proportion of these specimens were collected long ago and either lack adequate data or are in such poor condition that their value for research purposes is minimal; they are chiefly useful as exhibit or teaching materials. In addition, the North American col- lections contain many thousands of some widely distributed, abundant species, but few or none of other, rarer, forms. Further, the 4,000,000 specimens of all birds in the world amassed into collections in the past century pales to insignificance when one considers that hunters may take more than 4,000,000 Mallard Ducks (a single species) annually in the United States alone, or when one considers the annual toll of birds striking TV towers, picture windows, and other man-made obstacles. The impact of the scientific collector in the past century has been minor, indeed. Parkes (1963, Living Bird 2: 121-130) has discussed ways in which the study of museum collections increases our knowledge of birds. Studies of museum material are necessary prerequisites to certain studies in the field. Yet the basic biological facts of such phenomena as molt, plumage sequence, pterylography, and anatomy are lacking for many species because there are too few specimens in museums to permit thorough studies. Frequently requests to a museum for routine information re- veal that specimens of the necessary age, sex, season, and/or locality are not available. The continued addition o,f well-documented and well-labeled pertinent specimen material to North American museum research collections is necessary for the continued growth of the science of ornithology and for a continued increase in our knowledge about birds. Some of the material added to collections may be derived from the salvage of birds that die naturally or accidentally, but some specimens, especially those needed to solve particular biological problems, must be collected deliberately. Recommendation 1. The growth of collections of birds for scientific and educational purposes should continue in accordance with provisions of state and federal conservation laws. Collecting regulations that in- terpret these laws realistically should be sought through consultation between the responsible government agencies and representatives of scien- tific ornithological organizations such as the A.O.U. As an increasing number of colleges and universities add courses in ornithology to their curricula, the demand increases for the establish- ment of small collections to serve as teaching aids. Exhibit museums show a similar potential for growth, with a corollary demand for speci- mens suitable for mounting and display. Institutions of both kinds serve many worthwhile purposes, but individual zeal for beginning, rounding out, or completing such collections may result in undue pressures on some groups of birds. Recommendation 2. New collections should be established only after thorough consideration of the need, the purposes to be served, and the probable continuity of the collection. The scope and growth of such new (and many extant) collections should be no greater than is con- sistent with their immediately foreseeable needs. Just as the establishment of new collections is sometimes justified and necessary, the need for phasing out of collections no longer needed or used must be recognized. Institutional staff members may change re- search interests or may be replaced by persons with other interests. Under such circumstances, collections established for reasons no longer pertinent may be relegated to conditions of care and housing that are less than satisfactory, if not detrimental. Some may even be discarded or junked. Although these possibilities are greatest for small collections in small institutions, they are not so restricted. Lack of funding, interest, or insight may force even a major collection into dead storage and eventual deterioration. Recommendation 3. Institutions that maintain collections should employ, as curators or research workers, persons whose interests are collection-oriented, and should be prepared to allot sufficient funding for the growth, use, and maintenance of the collection. Recommendation 4. Collections no longer used, needed, cared for, or wanted by an institution should be transferred to another institution. Holders of private or semiprivate collections should make adequate pro- vision for the eventual transfer of such collections to an institution where proper care can be assured. Type specimens (holotypes) hold a special place of importance in systematic ornithology. These specimens must be properly housed and cared for and made available for study as the need arises. In lieu of a recommendation concerning the care of holotypes, we endorse Article 72 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, which states (in part): "Holotypes...are to be regarded as the property of science by all zoologists and by persons responsible for their safe-keeping...A zoologist who designates a holo- type...should deposit it in a museum or other institution where it will be safely pre- served and will be accessible for purposes of research...Every institution in which types are deposited should (1) ensure that all are clearly marked so that they will be unmistakably recognized; (2) take all necessary steps for their safe preservation; (3) make them accessible for study; (4) publish lists of type-material in its pos- session or custody; and (5) so far as possible, communicate information concerning types when requested by zoologists." The recommendations presented above are the views of the authors and do not necessarily represent or reflect official policies of their employ- ing institutions or of the A.O.U. AC<OWLEDOrEZVTS We wish to thank all persons who responded by sending information about their collections. Without their splendid cooperation this report obviously would not have been possible. We are grateful to our own employing institutions for permitting us to carry out this A.O.U. committee project as part of our research programs. Paul Baldwin and Ralph Raitt made many helpful suggestions in the planning stage of the survey. John W. Aldrich and Kenneth C. Parkes also gave much helpful advice along the way.
