The collecting numbers given are used more than once, for different species, often within a year. The pattern of collecting numbers does not allow the year that this list was sent to be definitively deduced. It is dated to 1884 as the earliest that it could have been sent; 1887 also appears to be possible. It also appears that not all specimens have been retained in MEL: collecting number 2 is recorded only once, for a collection dated to 1890.
