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.

Specimen 3. something written by specimen very small " ? limestone"?

xmhcman wrote

The date of the third specimen, 18th May 1852, is significant in that it was the first excursion of the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club. The limestone reference may be to 'Aymestree Limestone' the bedrock of Tower Hill (Aymestree - an old form of Aymestrey).
