12 of 222 shown

Museums hold 222 specimens collected within 10 miles of Pine Hill between 1896 and 1967: 121 Animalia, 98 Plantae, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.W. Cusick, Ash, G. (Gail), Buchanan, F. W. (Forrest W.) & Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard), Ashcraft 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.
