Specimen databases by Gopher

[John_H.Beaman]

12 March 1994

    To Scott Miller's list of Biological Collections via gophers should be
added the plant specimen database for the flora of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo.
This database has been available since last fall on the Biodiversity and
Biological Collections Gopher at Harvard.  The menu hierarchy is: Biodiversity
Information Resources; Floras; Flora of Mount Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.
    Following Scott's tabular organization, this database should be listed as
follows:

    SUBJECT                                         SIZE      COMPLETE
    =====================================================================

    Flora of Mount Kinabalu                        16,300        no
