Museums hold 185 specimens collected within 10 miles of Point Pleasant between 1866 and 1975: 130 Animalia, 37 Fungi, 17 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.M Bradford, Brand, Louis, Braun, E. Lucy 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.
