Museums hold 73 specimens collected within 10 miles of Goose Run (historical) between 1898 and 1972: 60 Animalia, 11 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bolen, H. (Harold), Collector(s): John W. Meldrim, DAVID M SEVER 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.
