Illinois Natural History Survey - Mammal Collection (INHS-MAMMALS)
The Illinois Natural History Survey Mammal Collection contains 15,418 catalogued lots (skins and skulls combined) of 157 species from 25 families. These specimens are primarily used as comparative material to identify specimens brought to the Survey. Just over half (51%) of the specimens are from Illinois and many were collected between 1930 and 1950 in Illinois and surrounding states.
