Born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire but spent much of his adult life as a missionary in British Columbia before returning to England to live at Tunbridge Wells, where he died. Published four articles on beetles in British Columbia and the Queen Charlotte Islands in Canadian Entomologist between 1891 and 1898. There are ten beetles in the collection of the RHS which bear the initials JHK which may be Keen. (Information from Andy Salisbury). There is an obituary in Coleopterists’ Bulletin, 11, 1957, pp.62-64 (by H. Melville Hatch) which I have not seen. (MD 8/03)
