12 of 129 shown

Museums hold 129 specimens collected within 10 miles of Farnham (historical) between 1893 and 1975: 123 Animalia, 6 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Creamer, D., Daiber, F. C. (Frank C.) & Daiber, F. C. (Frank C.), E L MOSELEY 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.
