Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 112 specimens collected within 10 miles of Wickersham House between 1878 and 1974: 78 Animalia, 17 Plantae, 16 Fungi, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. R. Boone, Borror, D. J. (Donald J.), Brodo, Irwin M. 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.
