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.

Details are a bit challenging!

Bogs, Commondale, Cleveland. NZ60 or NZ61. vc62 N. Yorks.

Coll Wm Mudd.

Pretty certain the W M is William Mudd's initials, see:

http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/269108/?image

and his others from 4 to 6 1853.
Then reckon its "Bogs. Lonsdale (possibly), Cleveland". VC 62
If Lonsdale that puts it at about NZ6010.

It could well be Lonsdale ("Lounsdale"); see http://herbariaunited.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1591

Mudd is said to have spoken with a "broad Scotch" (i.e. Teesside) accent and some of his placenames read quite phonetically.
