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.

Last two word looks like " or Whitsednesdy" which it isn't.... as follows the date might be something to do with WhitSunday which in 1880 was 11 May..
Alternatively can't trace a place with a name like that or a person... Any ideas??
