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.

location ?

[Roger Horton]

On the date 7/10/1881 Ley appears to have been collecting just west of Ludlow. If we can read it as 7/10/1889, however, he was then at Chepstow and on the opposite, east, bank of the Severn where the ferry used to connect, at Old Passage.




OS Grid reference ST5688

That's a good bit of detective work, I think the date is 1889 now that you have pointed it out
Well done!
