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.

Planorbis not found on Google

[Roger Horton]

Planorbis is a genus of air-breathing fresh-water snail apparently, so perhaps not a good guide as to which pool is intended!

[David Price]

I found a reference to Planorbis in "Edgbaston Pool and Titford Pool near the University of Birmingham".

Note that "Donor unknown" is associated with spmns ex herb G S West, sometime Mason Professor of Botany at Birmingham University.
