Museums hold 336 specimens collected within 10 miles of Highland Station between 1880 and 1973: 177 Animalia, 142 Fungi, 12 Protozoa, 4 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Brown, H P, C. Triplehorn, Cavender, Horvath & Smith 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.
