Collected by Caldwell, Class & Daiber, F. C. (Frank C.), Collector(s): R. F. Lozin 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.
