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.

Can't read collector initials or locality in N Wales

I think this is Pensarn next to Aberegele VC50 Denbighshire. Latter is in the gazetteer, I think.

Collectors are 'D E Jones' of Harlech and 'M D' from Dulwich, who may be
'M P' or similar according to recent discussions on the message board!

'D E Jones of Harlech' = Daniel Angell Jones? see messages on similar sheet http://herbariaunited.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9849

interesting that D A Jones was a teacher

"By 1881, though, Dan (or “D.A.”, as he was known) had left home and was an assistant teacher at Widnes, Lancashire. After qualifying as a schoolteacher he taught at Machynlleth from 1886 until 1892. Then he moved back to Harlech, which remained his home until he retired in 1924. "
