Steve has a point there, is the new name cross correlated in some way with 'West' in the actual database? (It just came up as Ash Creek when I searched). - Just worries me it's a great way to loose a few thousand specimens of a fall, if in the future you can't cross correlate the label names!
I also wonder if there was any way a name could be officially assigned at the time of a fall rather than several months after it's recovered? Out of interest, is the name that's given the nearest place/town to the first recovery, or to the majority location of the finds? How's it decided?
