Published ‘Descriptions of and observations on the cock-chaffer in its grub and beetle states’ in Letters and Papers on Agriculture and Planting of the Bath Society, 1, 1792, p.258. There is an account of him in H.J.Rose, New Biographical Dictionary, 11, 1850, p 273 which I have not seen. I presume the date of his death as 1787 given by Gilbert (1977) is incorrect. (MD 11/04)
