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.

'East Sussex' on label appears to be an error - Ullman's other collections of this date are from Wire Mill Pond Surrey and nearby area

Further thought on previous message. Wire Mill Pond near Newchapel, Lingfield Surrey TQ367418, is a site of many specimens of Beeby and close to his favourite site of Hedge Court Pond; it is near the E Sussex boundary N of E Grinstead. As for Ullman, his other collections same date are from Woking and Bromley - the three locations are quite far from each other. I still feel the Wire Mill site is most likely that above, but find it odd that Ullman either travelled so much or mislabelled eg the date.
