Museums hold 301 specimens collected within 10 miles of South Peninsula Cottage Area between 1846 and 1975: 285 Animalia, 13 Plantae, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Auten, B Zahuranec & party, B.H., H.P., M.A. & R. Rhoades 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.
