George Green informs me that ‘We recently discovered remains of his collection lost in the bowels of Worcester Museum in old cigar boxes covered with industrial grime and savaged by Museum beetle. Fortunately his labels are pretty good and we can work out his zone of activity mainly on the W side of Worcester. I understand his beetles and lepidoptera were included with other material in the museum but not the afore-mentioned cigar box Diptera, Hymenoptera, Trichoptera, etc....There is no written documentation that we can discover so far. I have been researching his history and think that he was an outstanding entomologist, reclusive, and neglected. If anyone has any reference to any papers other than the EMM and the VCH Worcestershire I should love to hear from them (harrygreen@britishlibrary.net) (MD 10/03)
