Described in the only notice I have been able to find about him (Proc.RESL., 14(C), 1949-50, p.64) as a ‘well known Scottish Coleopterist’. He was certainly responsible for the article on Coleoptera in the British Association Handbook for Glasgow and the West of Scotland, 1901, and he published some ten or so notes on beetles in the Ann.Scot.nat.Hist., the EMM. and the Trans.nat.Hist.Soc. Glasgow between 1896 and 1935. The most important of these is probably ‘Some rare Ayrshire Coleoptera’ in the last mentioned journal, (NS) 5, 1896-99, pp.136-137.
