    No, the fields can be corrected but only before submission. Don't worry about it - multiple transcriptions are recorded and compared. Discrepancies are flagged and double checked. [To err is human ] Even experts are human. Comparing multiple transcriptions is often more accurate than single transcriptions by an expert!

    If we note errors in species names associated with the records should we note the correct spellings in the "other information"field? I am not talking about names on labels, but the species names that are already associated with a record.

    I would mark it in'discuss' with #error and make a note there. Scientists will pick these up and if necessary can amend them.
