Museums hold 1,841 specimens collected within 10 miles of Laporte between 1853 and 1975: 1,077 Animalia, 564 Fungi, 166 Plantae, 15 Protozoa, 13 Chromista, 6 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. E. Recksecker, A. E. Ricksecker, A. M. Evans 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.
