Museums hold 251 specimens collected within 10 miles of Vales Mills between 1900 and 1975: 210 Animalia, 22 Fungi, 19 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, K.; Bitner, E., Adams, W., Brown, F.C. 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.
