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.

I can't make out a. the collector's name "W ??ist??" and b. not sure about the location being "Shoreham": Any ideas please?

Wm (i.e. William, not W M) West
probably C C Babington
collector: William Mitten (a professional collector)

Thanks for that - Was it a standard victorian grammer / abbreviation method to distinguish between initials W M and abbreviations WM that way or just the Wests?
Sheet amended for 3 points. Mike d'A

You will note the difference between WM. and W. M.
They are standard abbreviations.
