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.

No clear locality or collector name; date may be wrong

This is a clear and typical Joseph Woods label, such as comes up frequently from SLBI, as indicated by the 'W' monogram at top right, handwriting and style of date - ydm ie 15/6/1837. (there is also a 'collector's number' as per many Townsend sheets that may have ended up with A O Hume). Note the county is given as Kent in pencil, which should help locate the site.
