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.

I couldn't be sure about 'Glen Ariff' as Shrewsbury Public Library has no other Irish specimens currently. (I also found only 3 sheets dated between Jul 1851 & Jul 1853)
