Museums hold 13 specimens collected within 10 miles of Martel between 1837 and 1969: 8 Animalia, 5 Plantae. 10 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Collector(s): D. W. Kohlhorst, Collector(s): D. W. Kohlhorst; Preparator(s): D. W. Kohlhorst, Frank 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.
