Museums hold 171 specimens collected within 10 miles of Cosmos between 1915 and 1964: 168 Animalia, 2 Fungi, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Alexander, Athearn, Herbert D., B. Montgomery 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.
