Collected by Adams, K.; Adams, S., Conan J. Taylor, Davis, H.A.; Davis, T. 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.
