Museums hold 313 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bingham between 1901 and 1975: 308 Animalia, 3 Fungi, 2 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Buker, W.E., David M. Dennis, Dennis, D. M. 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.
