Regional context, not property-specific evidence.

Robins, Charles Robins; John New; Robert Dickerman, D. B. Ward 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.
