Museums hold 656 specimens collected within 10 miles of West Bedford between 1846 and 1974: 599 Animalia, 33 Fungi, 23 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Albaugh, W. F., Baumgartner, Baumgartner, L. 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.
