Museums hold 31 specimens collected within 10 miles of Madeira (historical) between 1878 and 1956: 31 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by H. Price, Porter collection, J.B., Porter, G.B. 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.
