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.

According to Babington's Journal he was staying with 'Holmes' at St Margret's South Elmham (OS TM3183) in the first half of May 1837. 'Southampton' here is most probably a mistranscription by West of what Babington refers to as 'Southelmham'.
