Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 303 specimens collected within 10 miles of Arlington between 1897 and 1972: 297 Animalia, 3 Plantae, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Allen, John, Arden R. Gaufin, BOYER AND DUELLMAN 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.
