Gave 69 insects including beetles from Aberlady, Gullane and Gosford Bay, near Edinburgh, to the RSM in 1893 (Accession no. 1893-102). There is correspondence in the RESL including a paper on Diptera (27 February 1935, gives his address as the RSM) and a letter about his subscription dated 25 April 1939: ‘I should not have fallen into arrears had it not been for the fact about two years ago I was let down by a friend for the sum of over two hundred pounds, and this friend went to the south of France and died there without paying his debt or leaving me any compensation.’ (Pedersen (2002) p.82).
