Museums hold 304 specimens collected within 10 miles of Harrison between 1835 and 1975: 160 Fungi, 128 Animalia, 16 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, A. R. Gaufin, A.P. Morgan 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.
