Museums hold 106 specimens collected within 10 miles of Kerr Corner between 1926 and 1974: 106 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by DOWLER, R C, Hine, J. S.

This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
