Museums hold 1,324 specimens collected within 10 miles of Davisville between 1878 and 1975: 648 Animalia, 590 Plantae, 81 Fungi, 3 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 'Odell, D., A. Cronquist, A. M. Evans 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.
