collected within 10 miles of Connecticut Land Company Office between 1885 and
1975: 218 Animalia, 46 Plantae, 33 Fungi, 10 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A.W. Cusick; R.H.Guckert, Adams J. M. R., Adams J. R. 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.

National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
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.
