DALGLISH, Andrew Adie

Submitted by admin on
Lived in Pollokshields, Glasgow. Published ‘Further captures of Galerucella fergussoni Fowler’ in EMM., 46, 1910, pp.262-63. Also collected Lepidoptera and other orders. His collections were sold by Stevens on 2 December 1924. The Catalogue lists twenty two 16" boxes of beetles two of which contained specimens from Russia (I am most grateful to Eric Gowing-Scopes for sending me a photocopy of the copy of this catalogue in his possession).

DALE, James Charles

Submitted by admin on

Father of Charles William (see above) and Edward Robert (see above). There is a surprising dearth of published information about Dale who was one of the foremost entomologists of his day and who died aged eighty having devoted most of his adult life to entomological pursuits. The existence of a large amount of manuscript and other personal material relating to Dale in the HDO makes this the more surprising. He was the son of wealthy landowners and received his education at Cambridge where he became MA in 1818.

DALE, Edward Robert

Younger son of James Charles Dale (see below). Shared the enthusiasm of his brother and father for entomology in his younger days and presumably interested himself, like them, in most orders, although the only specific records of his activities refer to Lepidoptera. Following the death of his wife in 1892 he took up residence in Salisbury where he traded, not very successfully, as an electrical engineer. He patented a number of inventions including an entomological lamp.

DALE, Charles William

Son of James Charles Dale (see below) and brother of Edward Robert Dale (see below). Best known as a Lepidopterist and Dipterist but he also published notes on other insects including Coleoptera, eg. ‘Scarce Coleoptera’, EMM., 26, 1890, p.244 and ‘Psammobius caesus in the Scilly Isles’, ibid., 32, 1896, p.41. Dale inherited his father's estate at Glanville's Wootton in Dorset and did much of his collecting in that county.
