Chalmers Hunt (1976) records that Evans sold a collection of British and foreign insects, and his library through Stevens on 22 November 1870 and 26 February 1875. This is presumably the same W.F. Evans who gave four gifts of Coleoptera to the NHM between 1845 and 1847 (1845.132; 1846.113; 1847.45; 1847.85. Other insects were given at different times) from various countries including N. Africa, and who gave his address in 1857 as 'Admiralty'. Pedersen (2002) p.57 records that there are drawings of insects by W.F.Evans in ‘Templeton’s’ scrapbook in the RESL. (MD 10/02, 11/09)
