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.

There is a second specimen, herb Thomas Clark, 14/9/1842, but I cannot read the location:?N of ?Boswater, ?Kincardine?

[Tom Humphrey]

I think the part before ?kincardine may be 'Miss Boswell'.

I tried skewing the writing to make it more legible, but that only slightly helps:

Thanks Tom.

I think you are right with Kincardine, but I think the other words might be a more specific location

Thanks, Quentin: I'll modify my comment on the sheet. John.
