Edit ProfileCareer
The museum was run by the Bengal Natural History Society and many of his writings were published in that society"s journal which he started and edited. He became a planter and during this time made studies of the birds, butterflies and dragonflies. His ability to sketch and illustrate birds led to Thomas Bainbrigge Fletcher inviting him to produce a series of articles on birds of importance to agriculture in India.
These were published in the Agricultural Journal of India and were later revised and published as a book Birds of an Indian Garden in 1924.
