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.

Specimen one Robinson/ Heath gives place name in Norfolk but it appears to be in West Suffolk which I have assumed correct.?

I agree with you, I can't find anything like Icklingham in Norfolk and the Suffolk locality is not even close to the border.

I've changed the placename given for the other specimen to Swaffam Heath rather than Swaffam so as to get a slightly more accurate grid ref.

Good. I had looked at maps for both these places and that is why I was a bit suspicious to say the least, prehaps a good lunch that day?
