Buzás, B. & Csorba, G.: Catalogue of recent Primates in the Hungarian Natural History Museum

214 B. Búzás & G. Csorba EXPLANATION OF HEADINGS The following headings refer to the information given under each heading of the Catalogue. Catalog number. The number assigned by the Museum to each specimen. Sex and Age. Three sex categories are used: male, female and unsexed. Information on gender was taken from the field tag and confirmed from the actual specimen whenever possible. The following age classes were recorded: adult, subadult, juvenile, neonatus. Type of preservation. The following categories have been recorded in the catalogue: mounted, skin, skull, post-cranial skeleton, wet and other. Wet specimens are either preserved in 75% ethylene solution or in 4% formaldehyde. The category "other" includes anatomical parts of specimens such as bacula and hyoid bones. Locality. Country names and administrative units are given according to the present usage. Spelling of geographical names follows the usage of The Times Atlas of the World. Many of the older specimens have no locality data in which case the country was, where possible, inferred from the known range of the species concerned. In case locality information was not available or the specimen was taken over from a zoo, "No data" was entered in this column. Remarks. The name of the collector and the date of collection were listed. The date signifies "collection in the wild", but in the case of zoo specimens, where this information is not available, the date has been inferred when the animal died in captivity or when it was actually acquired by HNHM.
