Specimens Examined
Organization
Each page provides a list of specimens divided into two groups — those that were examined by Schmidly (1991) as they appeared in the first edition of the book and a second group listed in a downloadable spreadsheet format. Specimens in this group have been collected since 1991 or were not included in the first edition. There were over 2800 bats examined by the authors and used to update distribution maps for each species.
