Museums hold 254 specimens collected within 10 miles of Beechwood between 1877 and 1975: 125 Fungi, 108 Animalia, 21 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, Arden R. Gaufin, Ball, H. 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.
