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 I assume that Carnedd means Mountain range?

[mossysal]

Yes, it is the name of a range - ("Carneddau" - plural), but here he seems to be referring to a single mountain, Carnedd Llewelyn
OS Grid reference SH683644

There seems to be a second specimen from nearby Llyn Dulyn SH699665
on the same day.

Thanks I thought it must be.
