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 sheet contains two specimens collectd by two different collectors at two separate times. I have recorded the names of both, but only the loation of the first. The second location is Hastingleigh Kent.

There are many such multiple sheets, and the cunning method of completing them is to use the green + at the top, which makes an extra set of boxes. (There are other +s on the screen, eg just for where there are 2 dates). Good luck!

Another curiosity of this sheet is the collector 'L H Parsons' in 1840, six years before Henry Franklin Parsons was born. This is most likely his mother, Letitia H Parsons, who was born in Bath, and lived in Beckington, Somerset, a long way from Maidstone! She appears on one other sheet, 325823, but there clearly as Mrs.
