Museums hold 149 specimens collected within 10 miles of Poast Town Heights between 1880 and 1973: 113 Fungi, 32 Animalia, 4 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, A. C. Billups, A.R. Gaufin, H.H. Ross 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.
