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.

Poorly labelled sheet

[Roger Horton]

There are two specimens:

First: John Tatham, who had many specimens form Yorkshire, especially Settle, and died 1875. It looks like 'Junior' but I cannot see a father/son in the database.

Second sepecimen: Joseph Woods (by handwriting and date style), 17/6/1838, cottage near Wind Cliff Monmouthshire, ex herb. Townsend. Search suggests Woods was there that day and using spelling Wind rather than the Wynd in the database!
