Gave various insects from West Africa to the NHM in 1849 including Coleoptera (1849.36). (MD 10/02)

Gave more than 5,000 Coleoptera which he had collected to the NHM, many through the International Institute of Entomology, as follows: 2 from Belgian Congo (1933.382); 2,116 from Fiji and Central America (1933.451); 83 Carabidae from Begian Congo (1937.1); 2,130 from Belgian Congo and N. Rhodesia; 6 from Fiji (1932.155); 5 from the Pacific Islands (1951.74); 5 from Africa (1951.74 and 120); and 7 from Fiji (1952.613). Smith (1986) p.118 records that he also gave insects to the HDO but Coleoptera are not mentioned specifically. (MD 10/02)

Smith (1986) pp.90,155 records that Evans and H.G.Vevers gave 87 Coleoptera and Diptera from the Island of Myggenaes in the Faroes to the HDO in 1938. The collection is accompanied by field notes dated July 1937. (MD 10/02)

Johnson (2009) notes that he was born in Kingston, Surrey and died at Barnstable. And that he was a master at Wellington College 1904-1945 where his retirement notice ‘states that he was a keen natural historian and mathematician’, according to Guy Williams. He published 'Two Coleoptera new to Berkshire [Claviger longicornis Mull. and Anthicus tobias Mars.]' in EMM., 82, 1946, p.45, and 'Neuraphes planifrons Blatch and other species of the genus in Berkshire', ibid., 87, 1951, p. 93.

Published four articles on Coleoptera in the vicinity of Hastings in ERJV., 5, 1894, p.156; EMM., 33, 1897, pp.18-19; 34, 1898, 17-18; and 38, 1902 38-39. In the last he explained that ‘very limited leisure during the last three years has prevented my doing much collecting.’ He gave his address as Eagle School House, St. Leonards. (MD 10/02)

Best known as a Hymenopterist and Lepidopterist, and for his work as a professional ‘Preparer of Microscopic Objects’. He did publish articles on Phaedon cochleariae, however (Zool., 16, 1892, p.274 and Ent., 25, 1892, pp. 230-233), on ‘Life history of Cicindela campestris’ (Proc.SLES., 1896, pp.87-93), and on Stylops (EMM., 12, 1875, pp.36-38). Enock gave various gifts of insects to the NHM including specimens of Stylops in 1875 and 1876 (1875.18 and 1876.21), and he also gave Stylops to the HDO at this time (Smith (1986) p.117).

Chalmers-Hunt (1976) p.107 records that Engleheart sold British and foreign insects through Stevens on 17 and 18 March 1870. (MD 10/02)

The NHM exchanged more than a hundred Coleoptera with Emery in 1876 when he lived in Naples (1876.30). (MD 10/02)
