Yes all my 1991 - not any of my 1992. Museum took the locality record and made the long /lat data from what I reported to them . I looked up the Dermochelys record and it is 1978 August 20th, PSM # 10247. PSM=Puget Sound Museum nut the true name of the museum at UPS is Slater Museum of Natural History. They also have some earlier toads and newts from SE AK but few frogs if any -it has been a while since I looked at that collection but found some toads with flesh fly maggots and holes in skin harboring them like what I found in some toads on Kuiu Island in 1991= Myasis infestation. These were on living toads on Kuiu Island - the ones I found. Can't remember the locales of the previous UPS collection AK toads. My 1991 toad records in Slater collection represent first for KUIU , Kuprenof and Big Level Island at least and first newts for Mitkof ( see Hodge 1976 for verification, Appendix in back of book).

Bradford, Does this now include all of your 1991 records? I think Bruce Wing's file has a Noyes island sea turtle record. Glad to hear they are on vertnet. I take it the museum is helping with the creation of coordinate data from the older format? Joshua T.

To search for them Google Slater Museum at go to the Collection Browse records page which will take you Vert Net, A museum records database. At that search bar type in Norman Alaska 1991 and a whole list of records will come up then click on any row in the list and a map will come up with more collection data like date locality etc even the longitude and latitude records if you want to plot the records. The Univ. Puget Sound collection has other AK records of Herpetology also prior to 1991. They even have a leatherback sea-turtle record that no one knows about from off Noyes Island. That specimen was hanging on the wall next to where I used to change fluids for the 10,000 plus herp. collection . It was taken by Murray Johnson in ca. 1981. I tried to include a link but it messed up so try the methods I list above. Bradford Norman 707 465-0818
