Museums hold 660 specimens collected within 10 miles of Christy between 1897 and 1975: 622 Animalia, 25 Fungi, 11 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Allen, J. M., B. BURGER, Baumgartner, L. 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.
