Younger son of James Charles Dale (see below). Shared the enthusiasm of his brother and father for entomology in his younger days and presumably interested himself, like them, in most orders, although the only specific records of his activities refer to Lepidoptera. Following the death of his wife in 1892 he took up residence in Salisbury where he traded, not very successfully, as an electrical engineer. He patented a number of inventions including an entomological lamp. His collection of British insects passed on his death to his brother, and his other natural history collections, including material inherited from his parents and some foreign insects, were bequeathed to his son and daughter. There is an obituary by his brother in EMM., 39, 1903, pp.255-56. (MD 5/02)
