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.

'Dr Frazer' taken to be Dr John (Joannis) Fraser, who has 6 specimens from Co Mayo the following year; none of the Frasers have any other Irish specimens. Painter could have mis-transcribed the date?
