Museums hold 258 specimens collected within 10 miles of West Liberty between 1835 and 1973: 143 Animalia, 81 Fungi, 24 Plantae, 4 Protozoa, 4 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, A.P. Morgan, Adler, K. K. 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.
