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.

l-h labels: collector J Woods evident from handwriting & date. Site 'Qui.. / Guiver' illegible but Woods was collecting in France at the time(Indre-et-Loire), despite the top label 'British specimens'. West Wickham is presumably the West Wickham in Kent, not Cambs - too few other specimens May - Jul to shed light on the question

Or perhaps the equally unfindable [?]'Gurner's Wood' see:

Perhaps Quincy, in the Cher departement. Woods was certainly in that region of France just before and just after this date.
