Museums hold 171 specimens collected within 10 miles of Elton between 1875 and 1975: 157 Animalia, 7 Plantae, 4 Unrecorded, 2 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), Borror, D.J., Bruce Fink 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.
