Museums hold 282 specimens collected within 10 miles of Simms (historical) between 1839 and 1975: 223 Animalia, 31 Fungi, 22 Plantae, 5 Protozoa, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A.E. Jenkins, A.R. Gaufin, H.H. Ross 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.
