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.

are we certain yet about this RMF: Ferguson or Fish?

quote "
Both RMF and RM Fish are listed as collectors. They are one and the same person and, correctly, Rowena Mabel Ferguson (Mrs L J Audus).

She graduated B.Sc. Manchester in 1932 and both she and Audus were PG students of Prof F F Blackman at Cambridge. Just before the War they married & Audus took a post at Cardiff University.

For a fuller account of the career of Prof Audus and his outstanding and heroic war service, google 'Soham Grammarians' and follow the links."
