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.

any ideas for the collector - looks a bit like "W H? ? Ford?" but not convincingly!

W McIvor ?

[Mike d'Apice]

Could be and looks better than Ford - There was a William Fordyce MacIvor but died 10 years earlier who would have fitted! Added a note for W McIvor? pro temp. Thanks Mike d'A
