Eldest son of General Sir John Wright Guise, third baronet. Educated at the Royal Military College Sandhurst and subsequently pursued a career in the military. Lived at Elmore Court, Gloucestershire, and from 1872 was Sheriff of the county. Very little is known of Guise's interest in Coleoptera except that he did collect locally and published a list of Gloucestershire beetles in EWI., 1859 (I am grateful to David Atty for this reference which he found since publishing his Coleoptera of Gloucestershire, 1983).

Lived in Southampton. Gave Buprestidae to the NHM on 7 November 1839. (MD 1/03)

A Reverend. Published various notes on tropical insects including Coleoptera in Trans.ESL and Mag.Nat.Hist. between 1822 and 1834. The birth and death dates given above are taken from Hagen (1862). Gilbert (1977), gives 1797-1831. Neither death date seems to fit with NHM purchase of 167 insects from him, mainly Cerambycidae, on 17 July 1839. Gilbert mentions an account of him in N. Papavero, Essays on the History of Neo-Tropical Dipterology, 2 iii, 1975, pp.219-221, which I have not seen.

Beetles bearing this name are in the D.G.Hall collection, North Hertfordshire Museum, Baldock. He lived at 54 Middleton Street, London, EC1. (Information from Trevor James). (MD 1/03)

Known as 'The Gilbert White of Bognor', Guermonprez made extensive collections of natural history and other interests which were given by his family to the County Council in 1943 for the formation of a museum in Bognor Regis. After being housed in a series of temporary premises between 1943 and 1972 it was moved to Portsmouth Museum. The large collection of insects includes several boxes of beetles and related documentation.

Mentioned by Dawson (1854) p.66 as 'recently' taking three examples of Chlaenius holosericeus at Hornsey on the Yorkshire coast. (MD 1/03)

Gave 69 insects including beetles from Aberlady, Gullane and Gosford Bay, near Edinburgh, to the RSM in 1893 (Accession no. 1893-102).

Arrow (1917) p.243 mentions Dr Griffith as collecting specimens in the Khasi Hills. (MD 1/03)

Born in Wormit on Tay, Dundee and graduated from St. Andrews University with a first in Chemistry. His interest in natural history started in 1931-32 when he went to work at the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. In 1936 he joined the Pilkington Research Laboratories in St Helens and in 1960 moved with them to Lathom before taking early retirement in 1967. His move to Quarry House, Aughton, where he lived until his death, took place in 1965. According to S.

The Accessions Register at the Castle Museum, Norwich records that various insects from India were acquired in 1837 from R. Griffin. (MD 1/03)
