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.

Have changed collector from Richard McKay to M Mackay. If this were Richard McKay it would be his only sheet, WITH AN IMAGE, from England. If there were an Erdington in McKay's usual hunting grounds in and around Lanarkshire then this would be the furtherst north report of Rhamnus cathartica!
