Lived at Lord Street, Birkenhead. Published several articles on foreign Coleoptera and other insects between 1869 and 1874. These included 'Description of a new Genus and Species of Prionidae' in Trans.ESL., 1869, pp.11-12. Other species were described for him by other entomologists eg. Newman in Ent., 1842. The types of all the species described up to 1855 were presented to the NHM in 1855/91. Numerous further insects from many other localities were subsequently given to the Museum and are listed in the index to the Accessions Registers 1864-1893. Gilbert (1977) mentions a notice in Bull. Soc. ent. France, (5)10, 1880, xcvii, which I have not seen. (MD 5/03)
