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.

Collector 'Blyth' is ambiguous: John Buddle Blyth born 1814; Rev. Edward Kerslake Blyth born 1836, (St John's Coll. Camb. B.A. 1860).

The name seems to be A Blytt; I've seen it on several Norway sheets, though only one shows up on search
