The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Museums hold 981 specimens collected within 10 miles of Pleasant Corners between 1840 and 1975: 872 Animalia, 63 Fungi, 46 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Gray & J. Torrey, A. Spreitzer, A.J. Sharp 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.
