Lived at Colinton, near Edinburgh. Primarily a Lepidopterist but he did have some involvement with Coleoptera in c. 1850 - several of his captures are mentioned by Murray (1853) - before he turned his attention to beetles again in c.1884. A note published in EMM., 23, 1887, p.189, entitled ‘Scottish Coleoptera’, states ‘until the last three or four years I have not been working at Coleoptera for a long time’. Three other short notes in this same volume also mention beetles. The RSM purchased a collection of British Coleoptera from Logan in two parts each containing 480 specimens in 1884 and 1885 (1884-33 for £8, and 1885-59 for 4d per specimen). (MD 11/03)
