Museums hold 923 specimens collected within 10 miles of Dilles Bottom between 1829 and 1975: 682 Plantae, 127 Animalia, 113 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. D. Selby & E. L. Moseley, A. D. Selby & J. F. Hicks 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.
