Regional context, not property-specific evidence.

Collected by A. Fitch, A.F. Sherf, Ahles, H.E. 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.
