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.

This is Benjamin Thompson Lowne junior's style of label so the most likely location is near Catford, West Kent, but I cannot find Green Hills Down, unless it refers to Hither Green, Lewisham.

With help from Chris I now read this as Green Hill which is just west of Darwin's Down House.
