Museums hold 52 specimens collected within 10 miles of Prentiss between 1860 and 1967: 51 Animalia, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bureau of Fisheries, H. Price, Kirsch, P. (Philip) 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.
