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.

oldnick wrote

the writing on the Castle Howard specimen is Ibbotson's he collected particularly from there. I cannot interpret the middle label which ! (Mr / Mt John Alp???) I believe this is in the handwriting of C O Groom (alias Prince of M&M - see red stamp, also typical blue paper of Groom's Lewes specimens). I can't say about the writing on the Perthshire (labelled '2') & Carshalton labels;

Perhaps Mont Joly, Haute-Savoie: 'Le chaînon du mont Joly sépare la haute vallée de l'Arly de celle du Val Montjoie. Il se trouve sur les communes des Contamines-Montjoie et de Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, au-dessus de Megève. On peut l'atteindre par les crêtes à partir de l'aiguille Croche' - Wikipedia
