Museums hold 1,756 specimens collected within 10 miles of Delano between 1845 and 1975: 1,296 Animalia, 348 Fungi, 105 Plantae, 3 Unrecorded, 3 Protozoa, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. C. Kinsey, A. Cronquist, A. Miller 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.
