Museums hold 82 specimens collected within 10 miles of Wetzel between 1865 and 1963: 76 Animalia, 4 Fungi, 1 Chromista, 1 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bonnewitz L. R.; Stevenson J. A., Bonnewitz Lee R., Holzer, 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.
