collected within 10 miles of Finley, Ebenezer, House between 1875 and
1975: 81 Animalia, 74 Plantae, 9 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by Adams, W. (William), Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al., Adler, K. K. 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.
