Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 1,202 specimens collected within 10 miles of Antwerp Norfolk and Western Depot between 1888 and 1973: 1,202 Animalia. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adler, K. K., C L CLARK FROM HOMER PRICE, CLARENCE CLARK 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.

It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.
