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.

T A S - ?? could be Thomas Archibald Sprague??

In cases where Sprague was the collector, HST has clearly noted the fact. I suggest that the unobtrusive initials "TAS" may be those of a curator.
