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.

does nay one know where the 'spot' in question?

[Chris Liffen]

a quick look around does not reveal anything further than Henfield - in the accessible literature

[dawn nelson]

thanks that inspired me to check Wolley-Dod which has - "Henfield !, 1818hb Borr[er]"

[Chris Liffen]

so the spot remains hidden

I can ask David Allen when I see him this summer, if anyone knows it he will.

[David Price]

The words "legit BORRER" and the arrow have been written by D E Allen though it is clear that Woods was the collector of this specimen. Perhaps Allen should have written "Borrer monstravit".

[dawn nelson]

what would monstravit mean in this situation? google wasn't helpful
