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.

Not sure of the name of the cottage where the specimen was collected
Can anyone make out the signature on the note please

[Chris Liffen]

The signature is that of Arthur Bennett, who was an expert on pondweeds. He and Fryer wrote the 'definitive' work on Potamogetons.
