evidence. Museums hold 2,190 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Tyringham Library between 1833 and

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.
