The other field of the Vertebrate section should be used to record any vertebrate items for which no other specific field exists on the form.

When listing a station in the other field, a description of the item should be included alongside the station.

Bat mummies

Bat mummy

Bat mummies are the dehydrated remains of bats with skin intact. There is no separate field on the form for bat mummies so they should be inventoried as other. Bat mummies can be found on the floor or even still clinging to a wall or speleothem. Bat mummies are sometimes found covered with a growth which is usually a greenish color but could be several other colors making them hard to identify as bats. The color from this growth may remain long after the mummy is dehydrated.

Example
