Specimen Number 10,000

The herpetology collection at the Burke Museum just hit 10,000 specimens with the accession of a Pygmy Short-horned Lizard (Phrynosoma douglasii). The specimen was collected in 1964 by R. C. Snyder in Ellensberg, Washington. Burke Herpetology collections manager Peter Miller rediscovered the specimen in a teaching collection and transferred it over to our research collection.
