Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 545 specimens collected within 10 miles of El Grande Estates between 1860 and 1973: 545 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by D. Jordan et al., Ehrhart, O. E., GEO MOORE 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.
