An account from the chapter on Lorain city, in the words of 1879.

Museums hold 1,096 specimens collected within 10 miles of South Lorain between 1853 and 1975: 693 Animalia, 315 Fungi, 78 Plantae, 6 Unrecorded, 4 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, A. A. Wright, A. E. Ricksecker 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.
