F. Bell Museum of Natural Hitory (University of Minnesota). Originally separate catalogs were kept for amphibians (catalog numbers 1-5357) and reptiles (1-3203). In 1975, a third catalog combined collections of both groups starting from catalog number 10001. &#13;
In 2025, a decision was made to unzip the combined catalog and separate amphibians from reptiles. These efforts may cause some temporary disruption to data access. As of June 2026, the entirety of the records have been temporarily removed from the Atlas due to the ongoing data migration. Please reach out to us if you need access to the data in the interim.&#13;
