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 think 'Conway' is a best guess.

I think 'common' is a better guess! The handwriting makes WH the collector; the WH specimens I have seen were collected almost entirely in Beds. However at the end of June 1875 he was at Ham Common, Surrey, H@H sheets show he then returned to Beds; after 10/7/75 he spent a week or so in Yorkshire, before returning to Beds. However I do not know any places in Beds called ...Common - but have taken liberty of editing sheet as I think Wales is erroneous.
