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.

The 2nd line if a location, looks like "Sjell Pibuilrd Hegus" if so presumably in Norway/Denmark or elsewhere in Scandanavia .... The nearest spelling Google generates is near Carmarthan! Also, the only possible 1878 Morteusen I can trace is a Dr H cited for naming a part on an annelid in the report of a 1912 voyage of SS Discovery.
Any ideas where (If a place) this might be and a better candidate for H M

Mortensen (Norwegians write a 'short vowel symbol' over the letter U - see the collection date "Juli").

'Sjell. Tisvilder Hegn'. Tisvildile Hegn seems to be a large wood on the north coastof Sjaelland (Zealand), due east of Helsingor, Denmark (Tisvildiler means 'of Tisvildile'). I agree the name is Mortensen, not Morteusen; seen on other H@H sheets, now can't trace. I've edited in.

Many thanks - re name and where - I had dismally failed to Google the location out out!
