Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 1,777 specimens collected within 10 miles of Robin Park between 1852 and 1975: 920 Animalia, 601 Fungi, 220 Plantae, 15 Protozoa, 13 Chromista, 8 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. E. Recksecker, A. E. Ricksecker, A. J. Pieters 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.
