can't find location, it looks like Surrey might have been crossed out.

The Shoreham spmn is C. damasonium.

Was Helsby deaf or dyslexic? His labels contain such errors as "Rebo" (Rievaulx) and "Durdan" (Durdham) so "Shoreham, Surrey" could very well be Shere, Surrey; Shoreham [on Sea], Sussex; or Shoreham, Kent; in all of which localities C. damasonium is to be found.
