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.

Once again, with this collector, there is a second mysterious date on the sheet: "1967". Was the sheet presented to the museum by a relative of the same name?

[Chris Liffen]

I have come across several of these - the writing is usually in biro and invariably dated 1967. Curious.

I've not managed to track down more information about this. The presumed collector is Chenevix-Trench (or possibly without hyphenation). The later date (typically 1967) is probably when the collection was presented to Manchester Museum (when the sheets were relabelled) - it's certainly not the collection date.

[Chris Liffen]

So we definitely record the collector as Chenevix Trench ?

[Tom Humphrey]

yes, I think so.
