Museums hold 518 specimens collected within 10 miles of Frytown between 1835 and 1975: 357 Animalia, 91 Plantae, 61 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 4 Chromista, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A JOHN AND W E DUELLMAN, A. E. Foeerste 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.
