Museums hold 584 specimens collected within 10 miles of Columbia Station between 1853 and 1975: 532 Animalia, 26 Plantae, 20 Fungi, 6 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Woolman, B Zahuranec & party, B.J. Zahuranec 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.
