Mentioned in Gimingham (1955) as a collector in the Cheshunt area of Hertfordshire in the period around 1907. Poole’s collection was purchased by the HDO for £12 in June 1912. 30 water beetles collected between 1908-1911 in the Portsmouth area are in the collection of Coleoptera from St. Andrews College acquired by Glasgow Museum in 1985.
