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.

the date clearly implies June 1849 - a year before Brocas was born! are his dates entered correctly?

Brocas' dates were wrong. 1850-1890 was meant to be the floreat date range (rather than dob / dod).

Thanks very much for reporting this.
