One of the early members of the Cambridge Entomological Society who was primarily a Lepidopterist but did publish a ‘List of Coleoptera taken in the New Forest, Hants.’ in Zool., 20, 1862, pp.8141-8142. There are obituaries in EMM., 24, 1888, p.235 and Ent., 21, 1888, pp.71-72 and Chalmers-Hunt (1976) mentions that his collections were sold in 2 lots between November and December 1895, but none of these sources mentions Coleoptera. In the Ent.Ann, 1860 he is listed as ‘collecting for sale’ and perhaps that explains his involvement with beetles. (MD 12/02)
