Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 230 specimens collected within 10 miles of Sherman Corners between 1884 and 1975: 195 Animalia, 30 Plantae, 5 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Huryn, Ashcroft, G.B.; O. Berea, Ashcroft,G.B. s.n. [1897-05] 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.
