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.

Annotated sketches encircling specimen, upper part of image not clear, no collectors name visible. Notes in a a clear, fine copperplate script

These uniquely elaborate sheets are imprinted along the very top 'Prepared by Dr Priestley and presented by him'. The word after Barnsley is Yorks.

Thank you for your comments, I will update the sheet, for some reason my image of the top part of the sheet is not coming out clearly.
