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.

Dated 'July/82' and collector A Carr, who, from other h@h specimens, appears to have collected 1860-1873, and could be Amos Carr 1829-1884. 'Com. Bot. Rec. Club June/83'. But why labeled 'Herb. Rev. Hugh Davies (1739-1821) Received 1883'?

I think both were bryophyte people. and yes, Amos Carr. See http://herbariaunited.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10840
