Museums hold 821 specimens collected within 10 miles of Amboy between 1872 and 1975: 763 Animalia, 49 Plantae, 8 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Woolman, Allen, T.F., Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) 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.
