Popis: We discuss a small collection of butterflies and other insects presented to the Manchester Museum in 1904. It was made by an officer of the colonial administration in Sierra Leone. The collector, Ellis Joynson Leech, was a member of a family that had established itself as part of Manchester society during the 19th century. The Museum also has donations made by two other family members. Their varied contributions may help to explain some of the anomalies in the insect collection.
