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.

1837 or 1857?? Syme has 2 similar sheets dated 1835, and one dated 1837, though not collected by him, whereas this label could be his own - he was then aged 13. A quick glance shows around ten specimens pre-1840 possibly collected by him

[oldnick]

Of those other pre-1840 specimens, certainly none pre-1838 were his own specimens. Those from 1838 have only printed labels
