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.

Can anyone recognise the finder's initials, please?

[Tom Humphrey]

I think it's Alexander Croall.

This sheet has an example of the same initials, attributed to him and I'm fairly sure I've seen other similar specimens at MANCH. When I looked at the sheets online, he often signs as "A Croall" or uses printed labels - so I still have slight doubts.
