Museums hold 347 specimens collected within 10 miles of Allentown between 1865 and 1975: 327 Animalia, 18 Fungi, 2 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by *ood, Almen N., Adler, K. K., Amstutz, K. 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.
