@@Collections of living vertebrates and invertebrates
except for insects and arachnids are housed in the laboratory
of Zoology. These collections, which now number about 90,000
(lots), are registered under the acronym of OMNH and continue
to grow through field activities of the museum staffs and associates.
@@Specimens of invertebrates, fishes, amphibians and reptiles
are preserved in the ethanol, and those of birds and mammals
are mostly skins or bones. These are substantial and well used
in the various museum activities and researches. Most specimens
are collected throughout Japan after 1950's. Some are from foreign
countries.
