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 sheet has 3 specimens from three different places and different collectors...

Hi Larry,

You can document multiple specimens on a sheet by duplicating the documentation form (click on the green '+' button near the top-left corner of the form).

For specimens from the Natural History Museum (BM) ideally each should have it's own barcode and the note at the top of the form indicates which specimen to document - the same photo having been entered separately for each barcode. Sometimes, as with your sheet, the process goes awry - with three specimens linked to a single barcode - in which case all three need to be documented.


Can anyone recognise the Co Down place-name of the middle specimen?

[Roger Horton]

Co. Down location looks like 'Knockbreda', OS J3671.
