Museums hold 417 specimens collected within 10 miles of Brownstown (historical) between 1898 and 1975: 402 Animalia, 14 Plantae, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Cronquist, A. Spreitzer & W. LeGrande, Alexander, R.D. 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.
