But it probably depends on where it goes. I send a lot of specimens off to Jeorg Spelda (Bavaria) who then process them (plates them) and sends them off to Canada to be Bar-coded. While i'm sure Ben Rowson gets them done at a local hospital and does the work himself?<br />Christian (Sparrow) Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590710065868379371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666457738678091444.post-54980106295929328182017-02-24T18:34:01.561+00:002017-02-24T18:34:01.561+00:00Sorry about that Seth, a bit vague on my part.

Mine also autodigested itself before i could get it checked. They ain't to fussed on being handled. :(<br /><br />Recent Bar-coding as shown that some of these terrestrial nemerteans that we have in Britain are actually different species. So its Argonemertes sp. (cf. A. australiensis) and Argonemertes sp. (cf. A dendyi) for the time being until a taxonomist decides to take them on.<br /><br />Worth potting one up and getting one down to Hugh. Apparently there's an 18 month waiting list to get things Bar-coded, so may be a bit of a wait before you get an answer?Christian (Sparrow) Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590710065868379371noreply@blogger.com
