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.

Can anyone make out the name of the fen please?

[Roger Horton]

Belton, south-west of Yarmouth - Belton Fen is north of the village at OS TG4803.

Thank you

Newbould was a botanising companion of CC Babington. Babington's Journal tells us that they were at Belton Fen on 8th June, not 6th August, 1847. So it looks as though Newbould as well as Babington had the habit of recording dates as month/day!
