Museums hold 566 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bloom Center between 1874 and 1975: 516 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 12 Fungi, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A Schwartz, A. R. Gaufin, A.R. Gaufin, H.H. Ross 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.
