Museums hold 302 specimens collected within 10 miles of Oreville between 1894 and 1973: 250 Animalia, 31 Plantae, 15 Fungi, 6 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Brodo, Irwin M., Buker, W.E., Carter, B. (Bruce) 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.
