Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 158 specimens collected within 10 miles of New Winchester between 1842 and 1973: 136 Animalia, 13 Plantae, 7 Fungi, 2 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Beal, L. E., Benjamin, J. R., Chase, H. (Hazel) 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.
