Museums hold 368 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mills between 1862 and 1973: 189 Animalia, 122 Fungi, 43 Plantae, 12 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Archer, W. A., Babcocks D. O., C. Gilbert & J. Henshall 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.
