Museums hold 920 specimens collected within 10 miles of Busy Corners between 1825 and 1975: 899 Animalia, 16 Plantae, 5 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Albertin, Albiet, P., Arndt, R. S. 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.
