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.

I agree, its M McLaren. As Hillhouse collected frequently at Cardington, it could most likely be a friend or neighbour with good boots; and not someone distributing specimens by post.
