Mentioned in Oliver Janson’s diary at Cambridge eg. Nov. 1866, June 1867. Andrew Duff believes that this may be the Edgar Smith, mentioned by Fowler & Donisthorpe (Brit Col VI p.281) under Bostrichus capucinus, where Smith is said to have taken it in 'Bishops Wood' in 1865. James thought this wood could be in Herts and refers to the record in square brackets in his Beetles of Hertfordshire. (MD 11/04, 2/20)
