Museums hold 349 specimens collected within 10 miles of White Cottage between 1873 and 1973: 309 Animalia, 25 Plantae, 7 Fungi, 5 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.E. Miller, Buker, W., Buker, W.E. 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.
