Museums hold 695 specimens collected within 10 miles of Avondale between 1873 and 1973: 636 Animalia, 37 Plantae, 12 Fungi, 5 Protozoa, 4 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.E. Miller, Adams, W. M., Adams, William 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.
