Museums hold 157 specimens collected within 10 miles of Shipp between 1920 and 1969: 151 Animalia, 5 Plantae, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Dittrick, J J, Hicks, L. E. (Lawrence E.), Hine, J. S. (James Stewart) & Walker, C. F. (Charles F.) 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.
