Worked for most of his life as a systematic entomologist at the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, India, specialising in particular on the taxonomy of beetle larvae on which he became a considerable authority. The series of papers which he published under the title 'Immature stages of Indian Coleoptera' in Indian Forest Records, 1925-1938, laid the foundation for further studies in other parts of the world. There is a short obituary in Proc.RESL., 35, 1970-1971, (C), p.53. (MD 1/03)
