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 have noted the 'flash' re date however the label is stamped with the B.E.C.of the .B.I. and stamped Distribution 1935

Hi, Chris,I agree there is a discrepancy - I wonder if they used an old label previously stamped? There are no Mackecknie records before the 1930s.

PS I can't see the distribution stamp?

I is on just below the top R/H corner, gone with the consensus and accepted the old label theory.
