12 of 158 shownMuseums hold 158 specimens collected within 10 miles of Relief (historical) between 1885 and 1974: 106 Plantae, 24 Animalia, 14 Fungi, 14 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, C. E. Jennings, Creamer, D. 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.
