A Reverend. He appears to have travelled extensively. In 1945 he published 'Two new species of Coleoptera from Persia' (Ent.mon.Mag., 81, p110-111) in which he recorded that he had collected beetles in that country in his spare time for ten years. In 1947 he published in the same journal ‘Rhagonycha montana described from Morocco' (83, 9) and in 1949 he offered Egyptian, Persian, Chinese and Californian Hymenoptera in exchange for Carabids and Tabanid flies (85, XI).
He is listed in the Naturalists Directory, 1948 at The Rectory, Mellis, Near Eye, Suffolk, and described his interests as 'Mollusca, Coleoptera. Collect same esp. near East (Persia and Egypt). Exchange shells and beetles. Sell a few shells of deserts available'. Biggs also published on the Diptera of which his most important article was probably a list of the Diptera of East Anglia in Ent.mon.Mag., 1951. (MD 10/01)
