Museums hold 779 specimens collected within 10 miles of Island Grove between 1897 and 1975: 456 Animalia, 266 Fungi, 28 Plantae, 24 Protozoa, 3 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. & L. Rhoads, A. S. Rhoads, A. Tissot and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
