Re: Problems with Mink

If I request records of American Mink Mustela vison through the report wizard (selected from the Mammalia dictionary), I get mink and Polecat-ferret records Mustela furo x putorius.  I've rebuilt the taxon index etc. but still the same.  Any suggestions? Or is this a bug in the dictionaries?

Re: Problems with Mink

OK, I've spotted its to do with the Recorder 3 dictionary and that the Polecat-Ferret hybrid is a sub-branch of American Mink.  Is this not an error? And if it is, should it not be corrected even though its on an 'old' list?

Hi Mark,

Yes, this loks like an error and we have flagged it up to the NHM to correct in the R3 list.

Thanks,
Lynn
