Museums hold 315 specimens collected within 10 miles of Olde West Chester between 1835 and 1975: 278 Animalia, 27 Plantae, 9 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Arden R. Gaufin, B. Frank, Bartley, F. 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.
