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.

Collector's name unclear.

B M Watkins 1816-92, though not his usual area

[johned]

Thanks, Nick. I've corrected the "comm" bit to Watkins, but am still unclear as to the name of the collector. Any thoughts?

[Roger Horton]

The collector's surname looks like Ley, and Augustin had specimens from Youlgreave in June 1877. Does this say 'Revn A Ley'?

[Chris Liffen]

Agree with Roger - Ley

[johned]

Yes, I think you have cracked it. I will edit the specimen to read Ley.
