Published anonymously A short History of Insects... designed as an introduction to the study of that branch of natural history, and as a pocket companion to those who visit the Leverian Museum, Norwich, 1797, which I have not seen but which I assume includes beetles. It was one of a number of educational works which she wrote for children. She is not recorded to have written anything else on entomology. There is a portrait in Lisney, A.A. (1960) p.290. (MD 12/02)

Gave 280 Coleoptera and other insects in two batches to the NHM on 16 June 1843 (1843.34 and 1843.35). (MD 12/02)

Well known linquist and Lepidopterist who also interested himself in other orders. These interests extended to the publication of two notes on ‘Mesosa nebulosa Fab. Ol. from Southampton’ in Trans.Hampshire Ent.Soc., 3, 1927, p.17 and 4, 1928, p.22, and one of his Lepidoptera notes refers to Saperda populnea L. making galls, ibid., 3, 1927, pp.25-29. Gilbert, P. (1977) lists five obituaries. (MD 12/02)

Published ‘Omophrum limbatum (F) an addition (or restoration?) to the British list’ in EMM., 106, 1970, pp.219-221 (with E.S.Lewis) which was based on his discovery of this species at Rye Harbour while photographing the Orthopteran Tetrix ceperoi (Bol.). He had earlier taken other species of the genus on the banks of the River Niger in Mali. (MD 12/02)

One of the early members of the Cambridge Entomological Society who was primarily a Lepidopterist but did publish a ‘List of Coleoptera taken in the New Forest, Hants.’ in Zool., 20, 1862, pp.8141-8142. There are obituaries in EMM., 24, 1888, p.235 and Ent., 21, 1888, pp.71-72 and Chalmers-Hunt (1976) mentions that his collections were sold in 2 lots between November and December 1895, but none of these sources mentions Coleoptera. In the Ent.Ann, 1860 he is listed as ‘collecting for sale’ and perhaps that explains his involvement with beetles. (MD 12/02)

There are Coleoptera collected by Farrell in Kent in 1883 in the C.G.Hall collection at Oldham Museum (Information from Simon Hayhow). (MD 12/02)

Chalmers-Hunt (1976) records that a collection of Indian insects made by Farr, which presumably included Coleoptera, was sold after his death through Stevens on 20 June 1893. (MD 12/02)

Gave a collection of foreign Coleoptera and Lepidoptera to the Castle Museum, Norwich in 1844 (photocopy in Accessions Register). (MD 12/02)

Smith,A.Z.(1986) p.18, records that insects collected by Farquharson in southern Nigeria from 1914-1918 are in the HDO. The NHM acquired from him 3 Coleoptera bred from larvae found in a fungus in Lagos (1918.32). Farquharson's observations and collections are fully described in Trans.ESL., 1921, pp.319-531. He died in the sinking of the Burutu. (MD 12/02)

Published ‘Two Curculios; a Grub injurious to Oats’ in Magazine of Natural History, 3, 1830, p.477, and ‘On the ravages of Insects upon Barley and Turnips’, ibid., 8, 1935, pp.171-179. (MD 12/02)
