He collected natural history specimens for the Berlin Museum with Count von Sack and William Bullock. He also collected in California and Hawaii on his way home in 1830. Some of his American flies were described by Christian Rudolph Wilhelm Wiedemann in ''Aussereuropäische Zweiflügelige Insekten'' published in Hamm (1828–1830).
