ALLEN, Frank

Listed by Sharp (1908:13) as among those 'students and collectors of the Coleoptera, belonging perhaps to a somewhat different social order (ie. not artisans) who have now passed away but to whose labours we owe much information and many records'. He also notes that Archer, who lived at Crosby, contributed a short note on the Coleoptera of the district to the 'Liverpool Naturalists Scrapbook', a manuscript volume having a limited and brief circulation among Liverpool naturalists, which was not printed. The more important of these records were, however, subsequently published by J.W. Ellis, Liverpool Coleoptera. (compiled by 1880). (MD 8/17, 9/22)
