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.
