Primarily a Lepidopterist although he did publish articles on Orthoptera and Odonata, and a note on 'The Stag Beetle in the Midlands' (where he lived) in Ent., 20, 1887, 44-45. Surprisingly, in view of the number and extent of his publications, there appears to be no obituary. His interest in entomology was pursued not only in Europe but also in India where he is recorded by J.G. Arrow to have collected Euchirinae in Darjeeling (FBI, Rutelinae, 1917, 370) Ashley Kirk Spriggs tells me that specimens from Darjeeling are in the Rippon Collection at NMW. (MD 9/01)
