Museums hold 292 specimens collected within 10 miles of Tabor between 1905 and 1975: 219 Animalia, 71 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Allen, E. J., Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), Baker, C. W. 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.
