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.

On reviewing this sheet I noticed a couple of frequently made errors which are worth drawing to the attention of new volunteers.
Anything dated 1852 or 1853 from Cleveland (an area of N E Yorkshire) is more than likely to have been collected by William Mudd.
Volunteers frequently overlook the fruits/flowers field.
