Museums hold 162 specimens collected within 10 miles of Leon between 1872 and 1975: 138 Animalia, 15 Plantae, 9 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bogue, E.E., C. B. Hellquist, Currutt, D. A. (Dennis A.) 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.
