12 of 47 shownMuseums hold 47 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rimer between 1893 and 1969: 47 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Everly, L. W. (Laura Wadsworth) & Everly, R. T. (Ray Thomas), P. Kirsch, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences 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.
