Museums hold 678 specimens collected within 10 miles of Sunset Harbor between 1865 and 1975: 599 Animalia, 65 Plantae, 11 Fungi, 3 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, Albiet, P. & Stone Lab Limnology Class, Anderson, J. (John) 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.
