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 reackon its JTSyme, John Thomas Irvine Boswell-Syme died 1888; & possibly that he not Baker was the collector.

I agree that it looks like Syme, but Baker does have records [1] from GB, VC92 South Aberdeenshire, Lochnagar in this month.
Whereas there are no records of Syme.
