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.

Beeby tended to collect many specimens at a time and, as he used exact dates it's often possible to trace his movements, so that despite the difficult handwriting his sites can often be found by referring to other specimens.
