I thank the staff of the Palaeontological Conservation Unit at the Natural History Museum for undertaking conservation work on the pterosaur collection, and museum volunteer Kathryn Yexley for help with reboxing specimens. I also thank the Palaeontology Investment Fund committee for agreeing to fund my attendance at the 3rd International Symposium on Pterosaurs in Beijing.

    摘要:

    The pterosaur collection at the Natural History Museum is of great historical importance. Most of the material is figured or cited, and several specimens are types or casts of types. Pterosaurs from UK localities are well represented, but foreign material is also present as original specimens and as high quality casts. The entire collection has been recorded in a database and curatorial improvements have been made, which has improved physical and virtual access to the collection. Although many of the specimens were collected as long ago as the early 1800s, they are still useful today. A full list of Natural History Museum pterosaur specimens is published, for the first time since 1888.
