Museums hold 69 specimens collected within 10 miles of West Jackson between 1925 and 1964: 67 Animalia, 1 Plantae, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by CL & LC Hubbs, King Lawrence J., MB Trautman 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.
