HEADLY (also spelt HEADLEY), Charles Burnard

Submitted by admin on
Born in Leicestershire to a family that owned an ironmonger’s business. Burnard was his mother’s family name. Lott (2009) p. 21 records that he appears to have collected his first beetle in 1890 but that a MS Report on C.B.Headly and his association with Leicester Museum by R.Brind (1980) suggests that he did not get into his stride until 1893. ‘He accompanied Frederick Bates to Bradgate Park, who reported that ‘Mr Headley joined me for several weeks and collected most assiduously’.

HAWORTH, Adrian Hardy

Submitted by admin on
Famous Botanist and Lepidopterist who also collected Coleoptera although little seems to be known about his activities in this respect. There is a mention in Stephens (1828) p.13, with regard to a specimen of Polistichus fasciolatus which he records as 'in the collection of my friend A.H.Haworth ... taken by Rev. S. Bale'. Marsham (1802) also mentions him as a friend (p.xxiii).
