Sampling comments: collected initially by F. Pfeil and later by the Münchener Sammlung, which obtained "ca 6 000 kg Schlåmmgut" from 1 b (year not stated); in 1983 the institut collected another "ca. 4 500 kg Schlåmmgut"
I am unable to split the 1 b and 1 c registers because counts of erinaceids and talpids cannot be broken down
counts of talpids are from Ziegler (1985)
