Murray (1853) p.vii mentions that Robert Northmore was the son of Robert Kaye Greville (see above), and thanks both father and son for adding to his list of Coleoptera from the Edinburgh area. He published 'On the capture of Coleoptera at Stirling', Zoo., 2, 1844, 698-699; and 'Tenacity of Life in Rhagium bifasciatum', ibid., 6, 1848, 2217. According to the Accessions Register at the RSM 'A Cabinet of British Coleoptera' was purchased by the College Museum, Edinburgh in 1855-56 from 'Greville'. This could be either R.N. or R.K.Greville.

A Doctor. Published 'Additions to the entomology of the Edinburgh District' in Mag.Zool.Bot. 1, 1837, pp.494-495. Murray (1853) p.vii mentions that Greville also collected in Forfar. His son R.N.Greville was a Coleopterist too (see below). He published three notes on Coleoptera: 'Additions to the Entomologia Edinensis', Ent., 1, 1840-42, pp.184-185; 'Note on the capture of Rhinomacer attelaboides near Edinburgh', Zoo., 1, 1843, p.272; and 'Note on the capture of Coleopterous insects near Edinburgh', ibid., 340.
