The numbers next to the names
relate to the collector's original hand written notes. The numbers represent
species/subspecies, rather than individual specimen numbers. You can access these original
species notes by clicking on the underlined names. This will open a PDF document of the
relevant page of notes. Locate the correct number on the page to access information on
dates and places of collection of that particular species.
