Worked with J.W.Carr and Frank M. Robinson, curators at Nottingham, collecting insects for the Museum during the First World War and donated ‘an extensive series’ of beetles (perhaps his personal collection) to the Museum in 1918. The database at Nottingham includes 4139 records, mostly Coleoptera but some Hemiptera from Notts., few Lincs., Leics., and New Forest; 1883-1918. (Information from Michael Cooper) See also EVANS, W. Mentioned by J.W. Carr, The Invertebrate Fauna of Nottingham (1916; Supplement 1935) as a Coleopterist who 'has worked the area of Nottingham'. (MD 11/04, 12/06)
