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 am not convinced about this collector.

Definitely reads 'W E Darwin' (not on 'the list' though). William Erasmus Darwin, 1839–1914, Charles Darwin's eldest son; lived in Southampton.

OK Thanks I have no way of checking anyone not on the list.
