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.

keith barnett wrote

label reads O'Kelly (i.e. capital K) Is it Arran or Aran, or both? Ewing is speculative

[Tom Humphrey]

I've corrected the capitalization of P B O'Kelly. I agree with you about H C L Ewing

I didn't manage to find the exact Isle of Aran locality.

[oldnick]

Correct, The Galway Bay Isles of Aran should be spelt with one R, unlike the Donegal and Scottish. The Great Isle is Inishmore. The Aran Islands are the only Irish location of this species.

[David Price]

'Killearny' is Killeany in the south-east of the island (Inishmor).
