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.

Date and collector are guesses

[David Price]

The name given as collector is "Borrer" (William Borrer, 1781-1862).

The handwriting looks like that of Joseph Woods in which case the date, in his idiosyncratic notation, would be July 1866; but as they were both dead by then the number '667' cannot be a date.

Thanks David
