Museums hold 575 specimens collected within 10 miles of Idlewood Cottage Area between 1879 and 1975: 551 Animalia, 19 Plantae, 5 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C ALLEN, A.E. Daugherty, A.M.H. 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.
