12 of 470 shownMuseums hold 470 specimens collected within 10 miles of Hillcrest between 1889 and 1975: 340 Animalia, 106 Plantae, 24 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Mac Gillivroy, Albert Peyron, Andreas, B.; Cusick, A.W. 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.
