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 cannot find a Bouniton could he mean Bonnington?

[oldnick]

Most likely since on same date he collected from adjacent Falls of Clyde

Yes! The web page for Bonnington Linn (OS NS883405) lists images with variations 'Bonnington/Bonington/Bonniton' & 'Lin/Linn/Lynn', a waterfall in a wooded valley above the Clyde. An image search for Bonniton Lynn returns numerous antique sketches, suggesting this is an old form of the name.
