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.

Collector assumed to be Townsend; date may be wrong

[Roger Horton]

The writing here suggests Joseph Woods as collector, perhaps at the end of his trip to Scotland in late August/early September 1835. The figures may be Townsend's catalogue numbers.
