Museums hold 1,072 specimens collected within 10 miles of Crayon between 1838 and 1975: 920 Animalia, 116 Plantae, 31 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Gray; W. S. Sullivant, A. R. Gaufin, A. R. Gaufin, H. H. Ross 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.
