The Blaschka Marine Invertebrate Collection at Cornell University

Species catalog

Notes: This list was compiled c.1960s early 1970s when many of the Blaschka marine invertebrate glass

models were transferred from Cornell to The Corning Museum of Glass on temporary loan. We had it typed into

a data base and proofed once, but the copy used was a poor quality mimeographed document, so some

errors are possible. The column "degree of certainty" indicates the characters the typist had special

problems reading. The list # is our assigned number, the Catalog # comes from the original document.

 

One way to play with this list is to copy a species name and then input it into Google and look it up.

For example, inputting list # 562, Physalia caravella, led us to http://www.mondomarino.net/poesie/index.asp?view=pgp.

It should, however, be remembered that many of these species names are nineteenth century ones, and may have changed since the

Blaschkas knew them.
