Museums hold 668 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rays Corners between 1872 and 1975: 654 Animalia, 13 Plantae, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. B. Fuller, Ansley, G, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) 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.
