The Reverend Francis David Morice was a noted theologist, linguist, and classical scholar who wrote Stories in Attic Greek (London, Rivingtons, 1883), still in print. Educated at Winchester, from which he passed in 1866 to New College, Oxford, he gained high distinction as a classical scholar, and in 1874 was appointed a master at Rugby under Dr. Jex-Blake. Here he remained for twenty years, retiring ultimately in 1894 to Woking, where he took a house next to his great friend Edward Saunders, and devoted himself to entomological research.
1900 An excursion to Egypt, Asia Minor, &c. in search of Aculeate Hymenoptera. Entomologist's Monthly Magazine 36:164-172. “We had a sort of a pic-nic, organized by Dr. Dinkler on an island in the Nile. This island is known to the Doctor’s friends as Adelen-Insel – having been so named in playful compliment to Mme. A. Dinkler, his wife, and this name is immortalized in some recent German works on Egyptian Hymenoptera. It will not, however, be found in maps or other directories”
