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.

This was a tough one - could it be Glas Meal
OS Grid reference NO1775

? The only record for Sagina nivalis on the BSBI website for Angus (Forfar) is in 100km square NO.
I think the date is wrong too - Both Backhouses were dead by 1914. I don't think there is a date - the number is No 54.
