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.

Specimens labelled in this way seem usually to have been collected by William West - but in 1956 he would have been aged 8, & his earliest H@H specimen otherwise, was 5 years later. Alternatively, was the collector 'Mr Pocklington' - such a name not on any other H@H specimens .....!
