I stand corrected.  I do note however the Florida Museum of Natural History
uses both UF and FLMNH.  Either way I goofed.  I meant to use FLMNH, but I
guess brain deadness set in; a malady of which I frequently suffer to no
excuse.
 
 
Let me also add that while this discussion has certainly gotten off track it
has benefitted me.  I am in the process of developing a database for the State
of Tennessee based on historical records.  As a result of this discussion I
now know to enter the FLMNH labels field "Leg." as "Legacy" not "Legit".  This
will certainly help avoid confusion down the road as the database becomes
operational.
