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.

Location of Balston marsh in Cheshire nk = Any ideas?

[oldnick]

I did not manage to find the site, however spelt - being Cheshire likely an inland saline site - however I am sure from the label & handwriting that its a collection of Langley Kitching, if that's a lead?

[David Price]

This is a MAB sheet.

Thanks re collector - I can't find any MAB, nor M A Brooks, specimens from Cheshire let alone a salt marsh, however the Dee estuary opposite Burton Farm and Point would fit - If anyone finds a better location match please amend!

Mary Ann Brooks of Flitwick Manor visited Liverpool and north Wales in 1845/47 (travel diaries at Bedford Museum). She died in 1848.

Many thanks for collector identification and interpretations of where and when! Amended. Mike d'A
