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.

'Ben Achlon' = Ben Aghlin Fermanagh (Tetley's most usual county) possibly?? 'Florence Cl. Hills' = Mount Florence??

[David Price]

Given that for twenty years Tetley taught at Enniskillen, isn't it likely that this is Florence Court, Co Fermanagh (q.v.)?

[Roger Horton]

Benaughlin is a summit (1221ft) ~2km S of Florence Court (H1733) on British War Office map of 1941, below. Unnamed, but given as 1218ft on the historical Irish OS map at H1731.

[oldnick]

Yes, a much more convincing possibility; and the two sites are as good as adjacent
