Collected by Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Walker, C. F. (Charles F.), Adler, K. K. & Wood, T. (Tilley) 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.
