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.

Date unclear and in fact Baker's 8 specimens from Ambleside have been variously edited as 1875, 1878, 1879. I wonder how many other Baker specimens have been similarly misread?

The Determinavit slip is Dr J B Phipps's but without his signature is worthless.
