I know that people do it all the time, but that does not make it within
the law.
I really became aware of this situation when I was still a graduate
student, and looking for a job as I neared completion of my degree. I
filed to renew my collecting permit in Texas and noted on the part of
the application where disposition of specimens is asked that I would
keep specimens in a private collection, even pointing out that I wanted
to do that so I could take them to wherever I was next employed to form
the base of a teaching collection. I was told that I could not do
that, but that I could deposit them to a named collection (such as a
museum or teaching collection-in-Oklahoma State University) and then
ask for them to be transferred to me when I reached my next teaching
post.
Seemed a silly distinction to me-in-the time, but ........... .
