Museums hold 83 specimens collected within 10 miles of Ferry between 1937 and 1971: 83 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C CROFT AND W DUELLMAN, Coovert, G.A., D. H. Kistner 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.
