I'm not really sure if I understand you correctly?

Are you talking about the history palette? If you are maybe its to do with how they are displayed linear or non-linear?

Just googled this and I think I was wrong and this should answer your question:

Is it between the 'C' history palette and the 'E' history palette?

Allow Non-Linear History Makes changes to a selected state without deleting the states that come after. Normally, when you select a state and change the image, all states that come after the selected one are deleted. In this way, the History panel can display a list of the editing steps in the order that they were made. By recording states in a nonlinear way, you can select a state, make a change to the image, and delete just that state. The change is appended at the end of the list.

Simples.
