Title page of the guide to the reorganized Waldenburg Museum prepared by K. Wopke (1937). of the Waldenburg collections (Budig 1999a), although subsequent workers have identified other zoological spec- imens from Linck's collection that were not recognized as such during the 1930s (Mohr 1940). Exactly how pre- sumed original Linck specimens were recognized is un- known. It is unclear if the jars used at the time of the cat- aloguing in 1783 were actually numbered, or if the posi- tions of the jars on shelves were numbered. In either case, no unambiguous numbering system of specimens seems to have survived to the 20"' cenUtry (Seifert 1935), nor does the earlier catalogue of 1886 suggest that any numbering system was present at that time (Wopke 1937). Rather, it is likely that Wopke tried to match specimens to those list- ed in Linck (1783-1787). Seifert (1934, fig. p. 36; 1935, fig. 1) figured a selection of spirit-preserved specimens, chiefly snakes, that were supposedly from the Linck col- lection. No markings can be seen on the jars (although some numbering system may have been used on the top of the bladders capping the jars). Wopke, who had actu- ally published a single paper in herpetology (Wopke 1930) based on his Inaugural-Dissertation from the University of Leipzig, later published a visitor's guide to the collec- tions (Wopke 1937; Fig. 8) in which he stated that he be- lieved that a large number of the specimens on display dat- ed to the time of Linck the Younger. Specimens believed to be part of the original (pre-1783) Linck collection were given red labels in the 1933/34 re- Bonn zoological Bulletin 62 (2): 220-252 organization (
