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.

Dick's Hortus Siccus ie dried herbarium - a work of reference presumably, crops up on other sheets

I think it says 'Dicks. H. S.' = James Dickson "Hortus Siccus Britannicus", 1793-1802, 'in nineteen folio fascicles' (Wikipedia).
