Museums hold 150 specimens collected within 10 miles of Girton between 1929 and 1975: 149 Animalia, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Beatty, B. (Brett) & Norrocky, M. J. (Michael J.), Class, Class & Daiber, F. C. (Frank C.) 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.
