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.

Quite likely to be James Abbot, an associate of West who has some 15 h@h specimens from Yorks and Lancs; Hambleton however is a recurring place-name in both counties. A specimen from the same month: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/330509/
