An email request received from The South
Australian Museum 28th November 2007.
The email read as follows:-
The South Australian Museum is planning a
new exhibition featuring the biodiversity of
South Australia. We have many specimens, but
not all are suitable for the exhibition.
They may be too valuable scientifically or
mounted inappropriately for the exhibition.
We would like to supplement our collection
with new material if possible. We have asked
people to be on the lookout for animals that
have died in captivity, victims of traffic
accidents or other sources of specimens that
may be useful.
Your interests mean that you are more likely
than most to come into possession of
material that might assist the gallery
development. To this end I append a list of
animals we would particularly like to have
(Listed below). We do not expect to gain
anywhere near all the specimens listed, but
if you could alert us if you know of a
possible source of one or more of them I
would be very appreciative.
If you have any comments or suggestions I
would be very please to hear from you.
Yours truly
