Joint author with W.D.Hincks of A Checklist of British Insects (1945). Not well known as a Coleopterist but Johnson (2004) p.12 records that he published many local records of beetles in the Transactions and Reports of the Manchester Entomological Society. Some 50 beetles collected by him are in the G.W.R.Bartindale collection at Manchester Museum. There are obituaries by E,J,Popham in North Western Naturalist, 1982, pp. 9-10, and R. Underwood, The Raven Entomological and Natural History Society, Fifty Years, 1946 to 1996, (1996) which I have not seen. (MD 11/09)
