N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Would Nr Curnow Be Porth Curnow Cornwall or Scilly I cannot locate any records for West 1870 to 1880.

I reckon its definitely W(illiam) Curnow, ie collector; his area and his era.
