Sold 361 Coleoptera from Chile including the type of Cicindela gormazi [?], to the NHM in 1882 (82.23). Presumably this is the solicitor father of Thomas Herbert (see below) since the latter's obituary, by Donisthorpe, mentions that his father ‘was chiefly a Lepidopterist [who]... collected many rare species in Peru’. Donisthorpe also mentions that Edmonds senior lived in Totnes, Devon, and collected beetles in this country which were included in his son's collection. (MD 10/02)
