Museums hold 1,079 specimens collected within 10 miles of Homer between 1881 and 1975: 1,066 Animalia, 8 Plantae, 5 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, A. P. Morgan; Ellis, Bales, B. R. 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.
