Museums hold 360 specimens collected within 10 miles of Leslie (historical) between 1924 and 1975: 345 Animalia, 14 Plantae, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, K.; Adams, S., Davis, H.A.; Davis, T., Fausey, H. (Howard) 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.
