Museums hold 213 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mecca between 1893 and 1975: 197 Animalia, 11 Plantae, 3 Fungi, 2 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), Bednarik, K. (Karl), Brown, Fred 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.
