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.

Site - although badly written, I assume hurstaston Common SJ2484, within Fisher's usual area. Bailey's label has complicated matters, I guess that having attached a label printed 'Cheshire Co 58' he has later re-read it as Thurmaston and altered accordingly to 'Co 55' (Leics).
