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.

COSDON HILL HAS BEEN CALLED CAWSAND HILL OR BEACON IN THE PAST. TRICHOPHORUM CESPITOSUM HAS BEEN RECORDED THERE IN SX6492 IN 1994. I J BENNALLICK, BSBI VC EAST CORNWALL RECORDER.

It is possible to edit gazetteer entries, so I have modified this location to 'Cawsand (Cosdon) Hill'.
This means that, whilst documenting, typing 'Cawsand' in the site box brings up both the VC2 and VC4 locations on the pick-list.
I have also edited another William Robert Sherrin 6/1918 specimen (Juncus bufonius; sheet 356390) which had been VC2 to this location, VC4.
