Listed as a member of the AES in 1947 and 1962. The first record states that he was interested in beetles only and the second that he was interested in Diptera and general entomology. His addresses are given as 48 Elmgrove Road, and 3 Courtfield Crescent, Harrow, Middlesex. I am grateful to Trevor James for pointing out to me that Byerley is mentioned in G.T.

Mentioned by Stephens (1828), 107, as 'a very active collector'. Perhaps this is the same Bydder to whom William Bond refers as 'my old friend and instructor in entomology' (Ent.Mag. 1, 1833, 212). He is known to have collected in the New Forest. (MD 12/01)

BUXTON

Ashley Kirk-Spriggs tells me that there are beetles collected by Buxton in the Rippon Collection, NMW. Is this Patrick Alfred Buxton, perhaps (1892-1955) the well known Medical entomologist who worked on the tsetse fly? (MD 12/01)
