Museums hold 260 specimens collected within 10 miles of Paradise Hill between 1846 and 1973: 240 Animalia, 18 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. S. Percival, Auten, B Zahuranec & party 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.
